FAQs
Can we offer childcare?
Labeled & Loved does NOT provide childcare.
When moms cannot join because they do not have childcare, encourage them to join our virtual Sisterhood Circles. We always want to provide an opportunity in response to a limitation.
The exception to the childcare rule is if you find an entity that wants to provide childcare. It cannot in any way be provided by/connected to Labeled & Loved. The provider must take total responsibility/liability for the entire childcare program, including the sign-up and payment.
Can children attend with their moms?
No. This is a mom-only program.
Can supportive friends, spouses, and family members attend with the moms?
No. This program is only for special needs moms or primary female caregivers.
