momstown Mississauga Weekend Family Storytime

momstown Mississauga moms and kids (and husbands & babies too) met this weekend for a Family Storytime program for the first time.  Simply Smart Childcare Centre (a new daycare centre in the Mississauga Road and 401 area) was kind enough to let us host our first weekend family program in their Toddler Room.
Family Storytime
Simply Smart Childcare Centre is holding a FALL FAIR coming up on November 17th. Its a free community event for Mississauga families and is open to the public. Everyone is welcome!

It was a great turnout. We gathered on the large blue carpet and sang some songs. There were musical instruments, shakers, tambourines for the parents and kids to help us get moving and shaking.

For our storytime we read a great book about fall & falling leaves and another book which focused on counting and rhyming. It was great to see all the kids of different ages and stages getting into the stories and songs. Our tiniest baby enjoyed zooming to the moon as much as the older kids, while our oldest toddler liked the book which had pictures made from everyday items.

We had a great craft provided by Simply Smart, a tea light lantern. The kids had a fantastic time painting the glue all over the baby food jars and sticking on different coloured tissue paper squares.
While the masterpieces were drying there were special snacks to enjoy and of course lots of toys and sensory items for exploration during our free play time.


Glue is fun!

As we are building up membership at momstown Mississauga its great to have family events on the weekends to accommodate our working parents, and to meet the extended family. Part of the beauty of a momstown Mississauga membership is that if Moms go back to work and Dad takes a parental leave or another family member steps in to assume responsibility for the care of the kids, they are just as welcome at our programs. We may have the name momstown but we are certainly focused on Family.

Simply the Smartest Activity Book! 


If you have not yet checked out our membership it's only $45/year for the whole family ( that's right 1 child or 4!). Crafts are included, and we meet 20+ times per month. There is no better deal out there for fun and educational programs for kids which also includes family programming and mom-only activities like our mama's nights out programs. You can buy your annual membership here, with the holidays coming up its also a fabulous gift idea.
