Oak Park Moms and Tots began as a small group of 6 moms that started meeting in each others homes in November 1999. Last year we supported 237 families.
Our focus is on serving families who live north of The QEW and east of 16 mile creek (Oak Park, River Oaks, College Park, Iroquois Ridge) although familes from all of Oakville are welcome.
We run drop in programs 4 days a week, a dads group, children’s reading club, parenting workshops, car seat clinics, first aid clinics, moms clubs (reading, walking, scrapbooking, time out) and other neighbourhood activities for parents and their children.
We are greatful for the funding we receive from the Halton Healthy Communities Fund that covers our insurance and some of our staff costs. We are also thankful for our member donations and donations from local businesses that fund our programming costs.
Our programs exist because of our volunteers who give generously of their time. Our volunteers accounted for 90% of our staffing hours this year.
