Little Peppers is a group where parents meet, share, and learn about the joys and challenges of parenting two young children. Groups are led by a professional facilitator. Each session includes sharing your parenting highs and lows from the week, songs and play time for the children, breaks for socializing and a group discussion on a subject directly related to the adventure of parenting.

Babies and children remain in the room with their parents for the entire meeting. (It makes for quite a busy and exciting morning!) Toys are provided, and you are also welcome to bring your own, if your child is comfortable sharing them. 

Little Peppers is open to all families with 2 children under age three (at the time the group begins): most families have one young baby and one toddler/pre-schooler; but groups also include families with twin toddlers, or with one older baby, and one pre-schooler. Parents typically attend with both children although you may choose to attend with only 1 child if that works for your family's schedule.

All parents are welcome at Little Peppers sessions, though the majority of attendees are moms. If you are interested in a siblings group where you can attend with just your new baby, please check out 2nd Time Around.

How to Register

Payment in full is due at time of registration; $170 for fall, winter and spring 11 week sessions. Register Now!

Cost

Fees for an 11-week program (held in spring, fall, or winter quarter) are $170 per family.  Fees for the 8-week summer session are $145 per family.

Payment due at time of registration; however, if you are requesting a scholarship, please fill out the registration form then email carim@peps.org before making payment so that your scholarship application can be reviewed and the scholarship amount applied. Your payment can be refunded if you cancel at least three weeks before the group begins.

If a Little Peppers group does not meet minimum enrollment, as occasionally happens, we will cancel it - in this case, you could choose a different group to attend if there is one available, switch to the next session, or receive a full refund.

Scholarships

PEPS wants to serve EVERY family that registers for a PEPS Group. Financial hardship should never be a deterrent when considering joining PEPS- we happily provide income-based scholarships for 20-75% off fees, and full scholarships in special situations.  Requests for scholarships will be possible during the registration process once you select the session and location of your group.

Child Care

Little Peppers facilitators are incredibly skilled at leading activities and discussion that accommodate newborns, toddlers and parents together. Babies and toddlers remain in the room with parents, and parents are responsible for supervising their children.

Some second-time parents prefer to attend a Newborn Group or a Second Time Around Group with just their new baby, while their older one is at daycare or with a family member. You may also choose to attend Little Peppers with only your baby (or only your toddler) if that works for your schedule.

Other Programs offered by PEPS

Orientation, Newborn Groups, Baby Peppers, Second Time Around, and the Parent Talk Lecture series.
