• Daddy and Me February events

    There are 2 Daddy and Me events this week.  Wednesday at Robert Ogilvie gymnasium and Saturday at the NP Cultural Centre.  Come enjoy some active play together and/or create a valentine sensation for someone special.

    The gym is open anytime after 5:45.  We usually start clean up sometime between 7 and 7:15.    Then we eat snack and enjoy time at Strong Start.  There were some disappointed little ones last month who came after 7 when we were cleaning up.  I apologize to those families for the confusion in scheduling.
