Networking Groups
Our Networking Groups are offered in seasonal series - fall, winter and spring. These daytime groups provide the opportunity for parents and caregivers to share ideas and build on their knowledge and skills in a relaxed, informal setting. A calendar of guest speakers and specific guided discussion times is provided at the start of each series. Groups are as follows:
Marvellous Monday Morning Networking - Child care is available during networking sessions for children newborn to 6 years. A refundable deposit is required to hold each child care space. Registration is by lottery.
With My Baby Networking – Parents attend this Wednesday morning group with their “not yet fully mobile” infants. Sessions offer parents the opportunity to get together, share, and hear guest speakers address topics related to family and parenting. Registration is required and is on a first-come-first served basis.
