LEWISTON – The Central Maine Medical Center Special Delivery Family Birthing Center will sponsor a sibling class on Saturday, Jan. 12.

Designed to introduce children to the concept of becoming an older brother or sister, CMMC’s sibling class helps youngsters learn what it will mean to have a baby in the home.

Children who join the class will participate in age-appropriate learning that prepares them for the arrival of a newborn through a process of storytelling and hands-on demonstrations with various props.

“A sibling class introduces brothers and sisters to the changes they can expect when the new baby is born,” said Betsy McGrail, RN, special delivery’s clinical coordinator.

The class is open to children from age 4 to 7. The class will be presented from 9 to 10 a.m. in the special delivery conference room.

Parents wishing to enroll their children in the class should call 795-5559 or register online at www.cmmc.org.
