Life With A Baby upcoming events

Socialize our babies circle time - Niagara (Saturday, June 20, 2026)

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Join us for a relaxed outdoor playdate designed for infants (0–2 years) and their caregivers! This is a great opportunity to connect with other parents while giving your little ones a chance to safely interact, explore, and enjoy sensory play with their favourite toys.

We will sit together in a casual circle so babies can see, hear, and engage with each other in a calm, supportive environment.

If the weather does not cooperate, we will move the meet-up to the nearby library instead so the playdate can continue comfortably indoors.

Age range: 0–2 years

Bring your baby’s favourite toys, snacks, and anything they need for comfort

Looking forward to a fun, easygoing afternoon of connection for both babies and parents! ✨
