What People Say About Our Parents-to-Be Programs
"I can’t thank you enough for everything I learned from your classes. People laughed at me when I said I was taking Lamaze®, Breastfeeding, Baby First Aid and CPR. Not only did I learn so much but I was secure every step of the way. When Rich and I are ready for our next child, you can guarantee we will be there for a refresher course! Until then, we will be at the new mommy group! Thanks.” - From Marian P.
“My fourth child and this was the first Lamaze class I ever took. It was the best thing I ever did. Mary Kahrs is an amazing instructor...A class that my coaches thought would be boring turned out to be extremely informative in the most fun way... Forever grateful.” - From Jeanette T.
“I can’t begin to tell you how much your organization has made a difference for me and my family. I took the breastfeeding support class almost 3 years ago, right before my daughter was born, and I am so grateful for Mary and the support the class provided. I am certain I would not have had such a successful experience with breastfeeding had I not attended your course. Although I struggled in the beginning, the knowledge I acquired in the class allowed me to have the composure and patience I needed to help my daughter and myself connect. I am so happy for all the health and emotional benefits I have been able to provide my baby from breast milk and am still nursing her now at 2 1/2! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

What People Say About Our New Parent Programs
“I think all of the programs at CFA have been wonderful. Mary, our instructor, is a wealth of knowledge and provides a wonderful support.” From Michele M.
“The mommy and me program is wonderful. I first started to get out of the house myself and talk to other adults when Brian was 6 weeks old and we participated in New Moms. Now I can’t wait to take him every week so he can interact with other babies, learn songs, listen to books, etc. It is a great learning experience at such a young age.” - From Krista Z.
“I took the new mom’s class and it was great. Mary was so knowledgeable in every area of having a new baby and she made me feel so welcome. I was late the first day, because I could not find the building. When I finally got there I sat in the back outside the circle of mothers. Mary moved over and told me to come sit beside her. Later my son and I did Tot Music at CFA and whenever we ran into Mary she remembered us!” - From Amy R.
What People Say About Our Parent-Child Programs
"I love CFA! This place is addicting. Once you start here you just can’t get enough. You’re treated with so much respect and understanding. You walk in the door and you’re greeted with a smile. Staff members know our names. They remember the last discussion you had with them. The programs are so wonderful and so are the people.” - From Janet Y.
“I knew the minute I walked into CFA that I found what I was looking for, I found a friendly place with warm people who really cared. My daughter and I have absolutely loved every parent-child program we’ve participated in. Each time I thought ‘it can’t be better than our last class’ and every time it was. The teachers are great, the lessons creative and fun. I may never leave! Thank you!” - From Joan C.
​“I came to CFA being new to the area. My husband, our 3 kids and I moved to Smithtown from California. Talk about culture shock. I don’t know what we would have done without CFA. I was driving by one day and just decided to stop in and see what it was all about. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The staff and other families helped us get a lay of the land. My youngest and I have been participating in parent-child programs for almost a year now. We look forward to every class and come religiously every week. We have so much fun and we’ve made so many friends. CFA is our second home.” - From Tasha B.
