What We Offer
The Baby and Me music group is for families with kids from birth to 18 months old. It’s a 35-minute meeting that starts with 20 minutes of fun music time, using finger plays, musical instruments, and scarves. After that, the rest of the time is for the grown-ups to chat and relax, with coffee and snacks provided.
Our Parent drop-in program is another place for parents to meet. We have talks on different parenting topics, guest speakers who share useful information, and an open space for parents to talk about the good and tough parts of being a parent. We also provide a childminding service for kids aged 9 months and up, so parents can have some alone time during the program.

Meeting new parents, grandparents and families of Fernie babies and seeing all ages connect through music. Being outside by water is one of my all time favourite ways to reset. If my dog is there, even better!
