Earn as you Learn
Here at Birthline, we have implemented a new curriculum that has been developed specifically for clients who want to gain valuable parenting skills! It was developed by Pregnancy Crisis Center Director named Dinah Monahan of Show Low, Arizona. It is an in-depth educational program consisting of 45 hours of prenatal, parenting and life issue lessons.
​
The education is provided through our Volunteer/Co-Director, Debbie Atchley and Joan Hemberger. The Earn While You Learn curriculum can be tailored to the specific needs of each client. Every client will fill out an intake form to show their case worker which lessons will be needed and which lessons may not be applicable. Below is a list of the modules and the hour lessons within them. Our goal is to equip our clients to become the best parent they can be!
​
By completing the program requirements our clients earn "Mommy Money" to spend at the baby store located at Birthline of Wellington. The baby store is stocked with maternity items, baby items, and children's clothing up to size 5.
​
If you are (or your partner) is pregnant and you want to have the opportunity to earn the items you will need for pregnancy and parenting while becoming educated on a wide variety of subjects that are applicable to your life, this program is for you!
​
Please call Birthline at (620) 326-7800 to sign up for our Earn as You Learn program! We would love to help you be the best parent you can be to your new child!
