Speaker Series
Discussion sessions are an important part of the Newborn Cohort program, but what about continuing education after cohorts conclude? Peanuts is excited to present our new Continuing Education Speaker Series, which includes FREE, monthly members-only discussion sessions with expert speakers on topics of interest to caregivers of children ages 6 months to ~5 years.
Sessions will be hosted virtually in the evenings and login information will be shared directly with members via the Member Portal and the member mailing list. Not a member yet? Join here.
