“I am going to be a first-time mommy and my friend suggested the program to me. The “Earn While You Learn” program has been such a blessing for me. The classes are so helpful and we learned so much and the staff is so sweet and friendly. I love the idea of “Baby Bucks’, I was able to purchase so many things in their boutique. I would definitely recommend the program to other pregnant women.”
