Something fun to do if anyone is interested. We love Elspeth Reid Family Resource Centre and have been going to a variety of classes since Jewel was 2 weeks old. If it works with your schedule, I'd encourage you to check it out. 🙂 - Steph

What a great day exploring The Green Spot Thanks so much for a fantastic workshop. Katie was a great tour guide and the kids enjoyed learning about plants while hanging out with the birds, fish and kitties. 🕊️ 🐟 🐈 🐾

After enjoying some delicious cookies, we're grateful for our colouring sheets and so excited to see how our plants grow at home. 🌱

We'd also like to share a special shout out to The BloomBox for letting us check out behind the scenes to see and smell some gorgeous flowers!

Definitely a great local spot to enjoy some shopping and grabbing a snack and relaxing at the The Secret Garden Cafe

No idea is silly or off limits. We want to know what kind of learning opportunities you're looking for. We have a lot of amazing ideas for this season; though as a collective, we are always open and welcoming to new ideas/feedback.

Please take a moment to share any ideas for learning opportunities/workshops/topics/locations/themes you want us to explore as a collective event. We'd love to do what we can to help facilicate any ideas you have.

Also, don't forget! We are always looking for parent involvement. If you have a space/special skill/interest you'd love to share/teach about - let us know.
