TRAIN WITH THE BEST

Family Trees Lamaze-Accredited Program has trained more than 500 Childbirth Educators from over 35 countries and territories, receiving glowing accolades from each and every participant.

Since 2016, our Lamaze Childbirth Educator students from all over the world continue to support and lean on one another through our online Facebook group. Whether it is to help prepare for the Lamaze Childbirth Educator Certification exam, sharing new teaching ideas, or launching a new business, our students find new friends and colleagues and show up to help a fellow Lamaze Educator whenever the need arises.

Today's adult learners want meaningful, evidence-based information surrounding their choices in childbirth. Content must be updated and presented to today's tech-savvy learners. Childbirth Educators need to be on top of their game with the best adult learning/teaching methods. Family Trees Lamaze-Accredited Program delivers this content in an easy-to-understand-for-the-not-so-tech-savvy-teacher throughout our training.

DYNAMIC TEACHING

Dynamic teaching will fill your childbirth classes. It's what fills our Lamaze Childbirth Educator Seminars. Our tried and true learning experience has brought seminar participants from more than 30 countries and territories including Russia, Jamaica, Philippines, Guam, Mexico, Costa Rica, Morrocco, Nepal, Spain, India, Qatar, Egypt, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, 30+ US states including Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and numerous Canadian territories.

Our learners come from a variety of healthcare and non-healthcare settings, making our seminars rich in diversity.

It is truly a blessing to share space with the professionals who choose to train with Family Trees.

We want you to be a successful, dynamic teacher, too. No matter how much childbirth education experience you have under your belt, you will walk away with many new ideas for teaching today's adult learners. We have students who teach one-on-one private classes exclusively with Amish and Mennonite communities, educators working in the public health departments and Healthy Start programs, university student nursing programs, hospital settings, independent group educators, doulas, midwives, and more.

REAL-TIME VIRTUAL SEMINAR

Our virtual seminar makes it even easier for participants to join. No travel requirements or expenses. No childcare to arrange. Just a well-balanced learning environment from the comfort of your own home.

Attend a Lamaze Childbirth Educator Seminar with like-minded people from all over the world - it's truly the BEST!

You will spend three days immersed into Lamaze education with professionals from around the world. Learning is both sychronous and asynchronous, allowing for individual flexibility while feeling very connected during our highly-interactive Zooms. We find this has been a very successful and preferred method of learning for our seminar participants. It is the perfect blend of "structured flexibility".

NOTE: These are three busy and full days. You will not have time to juggle other responsibilities. For time management purposes, please treat this as if you were attending an in-person training. Take off work, have child-care arranged.

The real-time virtual schedule is rigorous, but appropriately designed for the virtual learning environment:

Students complete homework prior to the seminar
Students view pre-recorded lectures independently each day
Students participate in three, 90-minute Zooms each day (10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm GMT-5)
New York City time on the World Clock
Participation in Zooms is required

ARE THERE PREREQUISITES TO BECOMING A CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR? NO!

Anyone can take this seminar and begin their path to becoming a childbirth educator. You do not need any background, degree, certificate, or experience. In addition to this training, you will also complete required reading, homework, and a professional examination to attain certification.

We also offer student teaching opportunities for those who want some extra practice before taking on their own class.

Experienced Childbirth Educators

New To Childbirth Education

Why would a current, certified childbirth educator want to take this seminar?

Lamaze certification is the GOLD STANDARD of childbirth education. Being certified through any organization might allow you to meet the MINIMUM requirements of your employer, and it might be easy and convenient to attain, but in a professional setting, it is simply not enough. Adding the Lamaze credential is a wise investment into your career. It is the VERY BEST you can do for yourself as a professional childbirth educator. We guarantee you will add a plethora of teaching ideas, activities, and content to your childbirth education class.

Family Trees Lamaze-Accredited Program prides itself in top-of-the-line teaching activities created and facilitated by a professional educator. While other childbirth educator training programs might get you the minimum credential you need to begin teaching, Family Trees Lamaze-Accredited Program will prepare you to fill your classes, get parents excited about your class, and create students who are informed consumers in their own healthcare. This is about improving outcomes for our parents.

If you are a childbirth educator clicking your way through the PowerPoint of a purchased childbirth education curriculum, it's time to invest in yourself as a professional.

You deserve to be the gold standard, absolute best, professional childbirth educator. Don't settle for less.

While there are no professional prerequisites required for our Lamaze Childbirth Educator Seminar, our students represent a variety of backgrounds.

Since 2015, Family Trees has trained physicians, professors, midwives, nurses/nurse managers, doulas, stay-at-home mothers, attorneys, childbirth educators, teachers, EMTs, bakers, bankers, stay-at-home fathers, accountants, government employees, social workers, football coach, airline employees, nutritionists, veterinarians, writers, AWHONN employees, phlebotomist, Reiki Masters, CEOs, engineers, physical therapists, graphic designers, CDC employees, massage therapists, occupational therapists, college students, high school students, IBCLCs, CLCs, film producers, WIC employees, and a middle school student (just to name a few).

There's room for EVERYONE at our seminar. After completing the seminar, students will have everything they need to prepare for Lamaze certification regardless of their prior training.

AFFORDABILITY - THE INVESTMENT INTO YOUR FUTURE

There are not many careers where a small investment into your training and certification will be earned back almost immediately. Becoming a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) is one of them. The investment you make towards this seminar will allow you to begin teaching childbirth classes right away*. Teaching three or four expecting couples will offer a return on your seminar investment.

* You may not call yourself Lamaze Certified, and you may not call your class a Lamaze class until you pass the Lamaze exam.

That said, we realize that investing in the seminar is not a possibility for everyone. We want to make that easier. We know what kind of professional doors this certification can open for people. We know this certification can change lives - yours, and those of the families you will teach. We do not take that lightly. We know you need to be here, you are needed here, you are wanted here.
