A letter from a parent about Got My Kids Mississauga
It was so nice to recently receive an email from a Mississauga parent about her experience with Got My Kids!
Yvonne obviously enjoys our product! Thank you Yvonne for taking the time to write us and let us know!
Dear Anne,
Just a note of thanks for sending me the Mississauga West 2008 issue of Got My Kids.
As I explained during our conversation, I have only ever received one issue of this wonderful tool of information, which I used relentlessly as my go to directory. I plan to contact Canada Post about getting on their circulation list as family household because this magazine is extremely useful to me.
I have a 4 year old son, who I like to keep active and entertained at all times. These are a few of the companies I have found and used because of Got My Kids:
Hearts Child Care: In early 2007, my sons school was closing their summer camp program because they were building a new school. My husband and I were left to find somewhere to place our son for the summer months. After reviewing the education section, we decided to interview with Hearts Child Care, who were very welcoming and had space for the summer. My son excelled so much during his stay in the summer, we decided to make Hearts is permanent school. The staff, children and parents are friendly and we felt we fit into this environment as a family unit. Thank you to Hearts for your love and support.
KeyNotes School of Music: My son loves music, so my husband and I thought it was time to introduce him to a music class, but something he would enjoy and have fun. In the recreation section, I noticed the ad for KeyNotes, so in the winter of 2007, we enrolled him in the Kindernotes program. I really enjoyed the interaction of parent and child. I thought the teacher was warm and friendly and allowed the kids to have fun and explore the different sounds and instruments in the music world.
Balls of Fun: Not far from where we live, there is a play centre for kids. I wanted to bring my son somewhere different. Again, in the recreation section I notice the ad for Balls of Fun and they had a website. I checked out their website with my son and he really wanted to go. We made a play date with friends and the kids had a blast! In January 2008, I organized a last minute birthday party for my son and asked him where we should go for fun and he said Balls of Fun, so that's where we had it.
Swirls: I love cupcakes and I was very happy to see there was a store that specializes in cupcakes in Streetsville. For my birthday last year, my husband and son got my cupcakes from Swirls and they were delicious!
Mississauga is a fast and large growing city. I was raised in Mississauga, when Square One was just a little square and everything was forest. As a mother with so many different options and companies to choose from, it's nice to see someone such as yourself narrowing the field for us and compiling all these great companies into one great tool. This spring season I'm studying the guide to find a soccer club and my sons next education school after Hearts SJK. However, I did notice the ad for Gingerbread Lane and I plan to take my son in a few weeks.
I am sure I speak for all parents who don't get the opportunity to say thank you for all your hard work and efforts for getting this guide out every season. It's much appreciated and used.
Warmest regard,
Yvonne
