Mama Bird’s Intro to Baby + Toddler Sign Language

In this 75 minute (in person) workshop, you’ll learn about all of the most compelling WHYs for teaching your baby or toddler sign language, understand the most practical and effective HOWs for learning together as a family and find out WHAT signs are the most helpful as you jump start your singing journey by mastering your first 40 signs.  

Of course babies and toddlers are both welcomed and encouraged to attend, but this workshop is intended to help you as a caregiver feel equipped to bring signing into your child’s everyday life. You are welcome to attend without your child if that feels best for you!

After the workshop you’ll be invited to a private Facebook group where you can find extra resources and continue to practice the signs you’ve learned.

Jen Hinds M.Ed (She/Her) 

My journey into all things pregnancy, babies, birth, and sexuality started back in 2010 while completing my Bachelors degree in Child Development and Family Studies. I had always loved the wonder of babies developing and learning the world, and yet my own wonder was cracked wide open after watching a documentary about pregnancy, labor and birth. The idea of becoming a doula some day was in the back of my mind for years to come. After completing my undergraduate degree I was the Lead Teacher at a childcare center working with 1-2 year olds but knew my journey wouldn’t end there. I took the leap to move to Philadelphia to receive my Masters of Education in Human Sexuality. 

While in graduate school, I was a full time nanny for a newborn and 2 year old. My nanny family quickly became my second family while I watched the kids grow up and I also grew close with the family. Through this time, I was able to support the parents through their postpartum journey, while watching the infant and toddler develop, grow, and rapidly learn about the world around them. It was truly the most incredible experience. Now 8 years later, my nanny kids and parents are still a huge part of my life and I truly consider them family. 

After graduate school, I had the honor of working with survivors of domestic violence, LGBTQ+ youth, and training professionals across all sectors. With this experience, I bring a trauma informed lens into all I do. Throughout my work as an advocate, educator, and trainer, empowerment and education have been the foundation of what I hope to give to my clients. 

As a childbirth educator and doula, I always strive to leave my clients feeling supported, cared for, and empowered by giving evidence based information, a listening ear, and non-judgemental support. Whether it’s helping new parents get some rest during postpartum, answering those “is this normal?” questions, or helping someone prepare their birth plan, you deserve to look back at these memories with joy, peace, and self-empowerment. 

A little bit about me: I am from Michigan, but currently I live in Philadelphia with my partner Jameson and our adorable dog Laney. You may even hear my Michigander accent come out once and awhile! When I’m not supporting families and facilitating education, I love to go bowling, do puzzles, play video & board games, workout, dance, and enjoy the amazing food and drinks of Philadelphia.

Baby Daze: A Postpartum Peer Community

Baby Daze is a thoughtful community for new parents to connect, learn, listen and share. This is a safe space to ask questions, share resources, talk about experiences, and create community. This group is facilitated by doulas with years of experience in birth, postpartum, childbirth education, and parenting. Baby Daze will be in a semi-structured open forum, where parents can lead the conversation, or have the doulas guide conversation with topics relevant to the postpartum experience. While we acknowledge postpartum is forever, this group is specifically tailored for parents who have an infant that is 6 months or younger. 

+ free, please register in advance so we know who to expect :)

Jen Hinds M.Ed (She/Her) 

My journey into all things pregnancy, babies, birth, and sexuality started back in 2010 while completing my Bachelors degree in Child Development and Family Studies. I had always loved the wonder of babies developing and learning the world, and yet my own wonder was cracked wide open after watching a documentary about pregnancy, labor and birth. The idea of becoming a doula some day was in the back of my mind for years to come. After completing my undergraduate degree I was the Lead Teacher at a childcare center working with 1-2 year olds but knew my journey wouldn’t end there. I took the leap to move to Philadelphia to receive my Masters of Education in Human Sexuality. 

While in graduate school, I was a full time nanny for a newborn and 2 year old. My nanny family quickly became my second family while I watched the kids grow up and I also grew close with the family. Through this time, I was able to support the parents through their postpartum journey, while watching the infant and toddler develop, grow, and rapidly learn about the world around them. It was truly the most incredible experience. Now 8 years later, my nanny kids and parents are still a huge part of my life and I truly consider them family. 

After graduate school, I had the honor of working with survivors of domestic violence, LGBTQ+ youth, and training professionals across all sectors. With this experience, I bring a trauma informed lens into all I do. Throughout my work as an advocate, educator, and trainer, empowerment and education have been the foundation of what I hope to give to my clients. 

As a childbirth educator and doula, I always strive to leave my clients feeling supported, cared for, and empowered by giving evidence based information, a listening ear, and non-judgemental support. Whether it’s helping new parents get some rest during postpartum, answering those “is this normal?” questions, or helping someone prepare their birth plan, you deserve to look back at these memories with joy, peace, and self-empowerment. 

A little bit about me: I am from Michigan, but currently I live in Philadelphia with my partner Jameson and our adorable dog Laney. You may even hear my Michigander accent come out once and awhile! When I’m not supporting families and facilitating education, I love to go bowling, do puzzles, play video & board games, workout, dance, and enjoy the amazing food and drinks of Philadelphia.

We are specifically looking for toys designed for children ages 2-10.

Together Skateboarding & Coffee 

Ron and Sara run the joint with help (or actually no help at all) from Harry and Otto. The couple met in Philly almost 20 years ago. While living in New York during the pandemic, Ron dreamt up the crazy idea to come back home and open a skateboard/coffee shop. When they found this corner space in Brewerytown, they knew it was the perfect spot to take a big leap and bring Together Skateboarding from an idea to a reality. @togetherphilly / togetherphilly.com 

Over The Moon Icecream

Pete and Emilia live on the border of Brewerytown and Fairmount with their baby twin girls and a fiesty senior chihuahua, Chewy. They recognized their own deep need for joy, community, and connection, and a desire to create a place that would bring people of all ages and backgrounds together for a simple pleasure. After many months, Over the Moon Ice Cream was born! Why “Over the Moon”? Because they hope to foster a spirit of joy and jubilation — something they believe everyone deserves on a regular basis. Stop by and say hello! @overthemooon.philly / overthemoonicecream.com

  • Which foods promote healthy smiles?

  • Are pacifiers a problem?

  • How do I survive teething?

  • Help! My sweet baby woke up with dragon breath!

As a mom, pediatric dentist, biomedical engineer, and dental school faculty, Dr. Maria offers families a uniquely tailored approach to children's dental care.  She earned her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. She went on to complete her specialized Pediatric Dentistry Residency at The Ohio State University and Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Kornberg School of Dentistry.

Beyond serving families, Dr. Maria describes herself as “a joyful wife and mother of 2 living in the Art Museum neighborhood. I feel gratitude for living in Philadelphia today and love exploring the museums and green spaces with my family and neighbors. I find my wellness in saltwater while swimming at the Jersey shore, my tears while watching heartfelt family comedies, and my sweat from hot yoga sessions.”

She’ll cover all of the topics you’re probably wondering about when it comes to your little one’s mouth –teething, tongue ties, brushing, flossing, toothpaste, pacifiers, bottles, sippy cups, dental visits, tooth trauma, nutrition for healthy teeth, and more!
