After three years working at PEPS and then joining a Newborn Group, Jessica Brockman thought she knew the PEPS experience pretty well.

This year, she joined a Second Time Around Group (pictured here) with her second child -- and she was blown away.

"Maybe it’s because we feel more confident in parenting, but it feels like we’re able to delve into topics better," she said. "I can pay a bit more attention to some of the other things [because] I’m not as concerned about some of the logistical things that worried me as a first-time parent.”
