Testimonial

"The mum and baby group, put me in touch with other moms when my son was about 3 months old. There were age appropriate activities, plus now at six months he is starting to enjoy the songs and actions. What a shame my maternity leave is ending See you soon! "

"The sessions are perfectly designed for the development of young children. Not only will you have a great time with your child, but these workshops are important for the socialization of your children as they will learn great skills and of course it's fun! For moms and dads too, it's an important place to meet other parents, exchange and make friends!"

"In February, in art they we did a 'rainbow' collage - a team effort. It helps our little ones to share, learn colors (in English) help them with manual dexterity (glue) and it was tied to St. Patrick's Day so a cultural element as well. In music we sang The Wheels on the bus go round and round... a great song where you have to move and sing! There is a coffee break in the middle which gives parents the opportunity to discuss and exchange information. We also distribute parenting magazines that we receive and information on events and new parent-baby places."
