Baby Time

10:30 AM to 11:00 AM

Join us for stories, songs, and rhymes for children 18 months and under with their parents or caregivers.

On June 2nd, we will have a visit from a Toronto Public Health nurse. On that day, our Baby Time program will run from 10:30 to 10:45, and a presentation titled "Checking in on Your Baby's Growth and Development" will follow.

This workshop will provide information related to children's development and milestones. Participants will learn about tools to help determine if a child?s development is on track, the connection between child development and behaviour and ideas and tips to encourage a child's overall healthy development. This presentation will follow an abbreviated Baby Time program.

Registration required.
