Company Overview
The Baby Academy was founded in Dublin, Ireland in 2019 and is a provider of Online Antenatal Education in Ireland, UK and USA. The Online classes are tailored for 1st time expectant parents, to provide them with the most up to date and evidence-based information. These services are delivered by a team of Senior Midwives, backed by a full-office team. The company headquarters is based in Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2.
Mission
To improve the lives of babies and parents, by empowering mothers and fathers with the most up-to-date and evidence based information.
Team
The Baby Academy is led by Susan Hogan, Tom McGovern and Brian McGovern.
Susan Hogan is a Clinical Midwife Manager with 15 years’ midwifery experience. Susan is the Head of Antenatal Education at one of Ireland’s largest maternity hospitals. Susan is Hypnobirthing Accredited, Positive Birth Workshop Accredited and most importantly Sue is the Mum of two gorgeous little children; Amy aged 9 and Conor aged 6.
Brian and Tom started their first educational company in 2010, The Dublin School of Grinds (now known as The Dublin Academy of Education). This educational organisation grew to become Ireland’s largest private tuition school, with a roll call of over 3,000 students per week. Since launching, The Dublin School of Grinds has become a cornerstone of exam preparation in Ireland and in September 2018 it opened the doors to its full-time school. Both Brian and Tom now act as Managing Director’s of The Baby Academy, driving and executing the growth of the business.
Online Classes
The Baby Academy offers two types of online classes.
Firstly, we run free 2-hour Online Workshops for 1st-time pregnant women (and partners!). This live online class covers all things baby-Care, from baby’s first bath to skin and nail care for your little one.
We also run a 1-day Online Antenatal Class to help 1st-time expectant parents slice through the often overwhelming amount of content around pregnancy and early parenthood, by showing you what to expect through labour, birth and early parenthood. We believe that Baby First Aid is one of the most important things you can learn as an expectant parent, so unlike other antenatal classes we’ve included it as part of the class at no extra cost.
We provide parents of today with the most up-to-date & evidence-based information, whilst leaving you in control of making your own decisions.
We went on a mission to find the most well-loved and passionate instructors in Ireland. Our team of Midwives are leading experts in their field. There are few experiences as special and life-changing as the transition into parenthood, and it’s our absolute privilege to support parents on their journey.
Aiding Ireland’s Health System
The Baby Academy appreciates the incredible people in Ireland’s public health system. At times there can be a strain on nurses, doctors, midwives, consultants and other health professionals and we wish for our services to take pressure off the health system and off Irish tax payers.
Knowledge can prevent hospital admissions and waiting lists and at The Baby Academy we have a goal of empowering families with the knowledge by providing the most up-to-date and evidence-based information.
We feel a profound civic responsibility to ensure our health system is the best that it can be. We don’t wish for a good healthcare system, but rather a great healthcare system, one that will give people the best of care that they deserve.
