Hi Yvonne,

Thank you for your suggestions. The Trail of Lights looks like fun! I agree with you, these links are more seasonal, so we won’t add them to the main links page.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays to you too!

Hi,

Thanks for the links you have on this page. My ideas for links are kind of seasonal, but here you go. Our family had fun going to the “Trail of Lights” at Downsview Park. It’s made for driving through, but on Wednesdays they don’t allow cars, so you can walk through and enjoy the lights more as long as it isn’t too cold or windy.

For things to do around Toronto, one of the places I look is here

They don’t have a Mississauga page, but sometimes I see things for Mississauga listed here.

Happy holidays!
Yvonne

Thank you for your comment Gary! And also for the links to the Science Centre’s kids resources. In looking at them, I think they are definitely best suited for older children and we will add them to our Parents Corner links page in a new category for older kids.

Thanks again,

I like the Ontario Science Centre’s website. The Science Centre is a great place for kids of all ages, but the website didn’t seem to have much for kids until I found the SciZone page http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/scizone/

The games page has quite a few fun things to do, though I would say they’re for older kids, not pre-schoolers or kids in the start of grade school.

Comment on Mini-Skool’s 40th Anniversary by Niki Vammus

Thanks for your valuable comments JT. We just wanted to clarify that mini-skool did not have a fundraiser for our 40th but we did charge to cover food costs. In past years we have been fortunate enough to have many donations from companies towards our barbecues but due to the economic times that did not happen this year. As a non profit child care center we contributed the best we could towards the familiy activities for these events.

Congratulations, Miniskool!
We attended the event at the Bramalea Miniskool.
Nicely organized event. Lots of fun activities for the kids. They enjoyed the facepainting and the inflatable play structure. A bit disappointing that they charged everybody for the BBQ items…a 40th anniversary event isn’t the time to be having a fundraiser! An enjoyable time, otherwise.

I love the teachers at mini skool daycare. They’ve helped my child out in so many ways. I have no doubts in continuing the relationship between my growing family, the school and its staff!
