This month our Discovery Field Trip momstown Mississauga took the kids to visit a Firestation
103. We were given a tour of the station to see where the
firefighters live and work. The kids were shown the truck, all the various equipment
and we got to watch a firefighter get all suited up to go out on a call. By the
end he wasn’t recognizable when he was
wearing all 70lbs of gear, so it was a good lesson for the kids in case they ever need rescuing during a real emergency - there is a real person inside that suit!  |

Did you know that firefighters keep their pants set up with
their boots inside? This allows them to step into the boots, and pull up their
pants in one seamless motion. What a fabulous idea for moms to implement that into the morning routine this winter with snow pants. During the morning rush to school it can be
very frustrating pulling those snow pants
on with the boots!
This was an exciting outing. Many of our kids were quite young however it is never too early to talk
about fire safety. Preschoolers can
learn to stop, drop and roll in case of fire, and it is one lesson when
practised in a fun and engaging manner they will never forget.
Each month at momstown we take our
kids on a different field trip to learn and
discover a new experience. We have so many other exciting events
and programs coming up in October, including a mom’s night out rollerskating,
our Little Scientists, Art & Play, Tales for Tots by Scholastic Canada, a special Nutella Buddies Brunch and our very own
Fisher Price Halloween Boo Bash! Sign up for these events and more on your free4-week trial!
