Momstown Mississauga is Open for Business!

This Friday there’s a new group in town. No, it’s not a biker group or a musical group - it’s a mom's group! And not your mother’s idea of a mom's group either- it’s momstown Mississauga! 

First a little bit about me. My name is Sarah Ryan and I am the proud new owner of momstown Mississauga. I’m a mom to four year old twins and a first-time entrepreneur.  It is exciting to learn so much about starting my own business while doing something I love in my community.  I am thrilled to be able to bring momstown to our city! The passion for education of momstown’s founder 

Ann-Marie Burton is evident in the early literacy and education focused programs that make up momstown’s pillars.

What is momstown? It’s a national program that connects local parents with the businesses that serve them through 20+ events each month.  The programs feature a focus on early learning and literacy. What sort of activities do we provide to get you out of the house? Read on for highlights of some of our upcoming events in June.  

Picassos In the Park – a painting event where we line up picnic tables in the park and get messy! This is a favorite momstown event in momstown chapters across the country.  We will be holding it in parks all around Mississauga  throughout this summer.

Tales for Tots – Sponsored by Scholastic Canada, our Tales for Tots event features a “book of the month” that the children will enjoy at story time, as well as an opportunity to win a book courtesy of Scholastic!  In June ,we will be reading Old Macdonald’s Farm. It is an interactive puppet book, tfitting for our monthly them for June – On the Farm.  This event will be held at Chapters in the Erin Mills Power Centre.

Baby Basics  - This weekly program is designed for moms with babies aged 0-12 months looking to connect with other moms in the same stage of life. We will discuss topics like breastfeeding, infant massage, and sleep, every other week with a local expert.  On the alternate weeks, momstown will lead you and your child in a short “Baby Picassos” art session where you and your baby will create a keepsake craft.  Each session also includes plenty of time to get to know your fellow Mississauga moms in momstown. We will be holding this program at the Taima Zone throughout the summer.

Other exciting events and programs you can be a part of with momstown are:  Mama Meet & Greet, Sip & Stroll, Mom's Nights Out, Bookclub, Mama & Me Fitness, Discovery Field Trips, Junior Chef, Art & Play and  momstown Monet. The list goes on and on! 

These are just a small taste of the programming and activities available through momstown Mississauga.  For more information about the programs, event calendars or to just get to know momstown Mississauga a little more, visit our new website mississauga.momstown.ca

I am excited to start building our community, bringing together local moms like you together with your kids for fun, learning and support. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
