Greetings!

Fall is upon us,and its time to start thinking about the wonderful fall activities that you can do with your children as a family event. Ontario is full of wonderful Fall Festivals that you can partake in. Your kids will cherish these memories and adventures and learn to make and create their own over time. This can all happen if you plan ahead and make it fun.
Our October newsletter will provide a list of activities you can do together.
