Description

Specialties

Mom & Tot OC is the only Mommy & Me group in Orange County for moms and toddlers (9 months — 3 years old).

Strengthen the bond you have with your toddler and connect with him or her on a different level without the constant pressure of feedings, changing, and crying.

This is a relaxed environment for moms to connect with other moms, get support, and make lifelong friendships.

The 8-​week session is on Wednesdays at 11:00 am-12:30 pm in Irvine. Guest speakers provide expert advice on sleep, CPR, car seat safety, relationships, parenting, toddler nutrition, photography, holistic health, music, literature, unstructured play, and more. Crafts are also included!

History

Established in 2015.

After giving birth to twins in 2014, Dawn Antis dove head first into motherhood! She joined a mommy and me group, a mothers of multiples group, and stroller strides. By surrounding herself with other new moms, Dawn began sharing advice, experiences, and what was currently working for her. The Orange County native says she started Mom & Tot OC out of necessity because there are a handful of mommy and me groups for newborns, but no options for toddlers. Her purpose behind Mom & Tot OC is to empower new moms and learn from each others experiences.

I just finished my 2nd session of attending Mom & Tot OC and it was just as amazing as the first time! My girls had so much fun as did I this second time around! Dawn is constantly innovating the program for new speakers and experiences so you can definitely do Mom & Tot OC more than once and it doesn’t get old! A couple of the weeks were the same as the last session but who doesn’t want to have another free swimming class or get advice from a toddler sleep specialist?! I found even the repeats extremely beneficial and it wasn’t at all repetitive! This session there were also fun new speakers such as one on parks and new crafts too. Also there were new woman who it was great to make more mom-​friends! I highly recommend Mom & Tot OC and am happy to be a repeat customer!

I really enjoyed my session with Mom & Tot OC & will be returning.
~The speakers — from nutrition for you and little to fun parks in OC, such a variety!
~The environment is extremely tot friendly, Dawn has done an excellent job at making sure all kids are safe.
~It’s affordable (especially for a mom of twins)
~It was nice to meet other twin moms in class as well as singleton mommas and all the kids had such a fun time interacting.
I def recommend this group if you are looking for something to get involved and meet new moms and their tots!

Mom & Tot OC has been such a great, supportive group! I’m new to CA and have gained so much insight into the area though this group of ladies. I’m not a first-​time mom, but there are 12 years in-​between my kiddos, and so much has changed in that time! Mom & Tot has been a great resource for the latest information on things like sleep habits, toys and other product to promote developmental milestones, and nutrition. I’m so appreciative of Mom & Tot OC and can’t wait for the next session to begin!

So glad to have found mom and tot OC :). They offer great topics each session in a fun, relaxed safe setting for both mom and baby. It’s especially great if you’re not a working mom, and would like to join something enjoyable and informative for you and your little one. My daughter loved interacting with other kids her age! As for moms its always helpful to exchange ideas and suggestions with other moms going through a similar experience. I’ll definitely be singing up for the next session starting in September ;).

As a pediatric nurse, I always love to see a safe & informative place for moms to come together. Mom & Tot OC is not only a fun place but it is also full of support and information. Throughout my teaching at Mom & Tot OC, I have been able to pass along important tips on safety hazards and what to do in the event of an emergency. It is such a wonderful thing to see these women gain insight and to know that I have helped them protect their children. I support Mom & Tot OC 100%. I would highly recommend to anyone I know and I look forward to joining a class myself in the future!

Mom & Tot OC has been such a wonderful and supportive group for me and my son. As a first-​time mom, it’s so nice to connect with other women who are going through similar stages, to learn from them and get support. We have had so much for with the crafts, interactive play for the tots and discussions with the group of women. I know that I’ve made life-​long friendships in this group of fantastic moms and kids. If you are looking for a group to have some fun and gain some good mommy tips and friendships, I would encourage you to join!

I support this group as both a Mariage and Family Therapist. and as a parent of 4 kids. (Please start a Pop & Tot OC!!)
It is important to have a group of women,
who can provide encouragement and empathy through the joys and challenges of being a mom during the early stages of parenting. This group provides community, support, and practical insights for women in this stage of the parenting game.
I would recommend this group to any new mom I know or work with.

My 11 month old triplets and I just finished an 8 week session at Mom and Tot OC. It was a great experience. I was able to meet and build friendships with other mothers of singletons and twins! The weekly guest speakers were great and informative… my triplets now sleep through the night because of the advice I received from the sleep specialist! The environment was very relaxing and safe for our children. My kids learned to interact with other children and had a blast! We also did some fun craft projects. We enjoyed it so much that we will be joining the summer session!

Mom & Tot OC is a welcoming, educational, caring, and just all-​around awesome group that creates a great community of moms and friendship.
Each week, a specialist in a relevant field related to children or motherhood comes to speak with the group, share insight and answer questions. I always leave feeling inspired.
The groups are small, so it’s an intimate space where you feel very comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind and getting great feedback from others.
Wether you are a new or experienced mom, you (and your LO) will get a lot out of Mom & Tot OC.

If you have a toddler, this is the best mommy and me group in Orange County to join. It’s a great way to make friends with other moms and engage in fun activities with your child in a comfortable enviorment. The speakers have been life changing! Especially Mark Howerton, the marriage and family therapist. The CPR specialist was very helpful too! She suggested simple tips for babysitters that I’ve implemented at home. It’s also the most affordable mommy and me group that I’ve seen. There is plenty of parking too!
