Monday Playgroup

Playgroup!

playgroup info 6x3625

Are you a mom, dad, grandparent or caregiver in the neighbourhood and would like to have a place to go to meet other people and have your children socialize and play with others? Then come and join us at the Winston Heights-Mountview Playgroup held at the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Centre. We have great toys for the kids to play with and this is a great way to get out and meet others. Playgroup is held each Monday morning starting at 10:00 a.m. and lasts to 11:30 a.m (starting up again September 12, 2016).

This is an informal, non-registered playgroup, so no need to sign up, just come out and join us on Monday mornings – we love to meet new families in the neighbourhood! If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Sarah Wiedmer Jarabak at playgroup@winstonheights.ca.

Also, if you’d be interested in having a ‘story time’ during playgroup, please contact me via e-mail. If we have enough interest, I will organize a Calgary Public Library public outreach coordinator to schedule us in for regular story times. They bring books on a specific theme and read a few to the children while guardians quietly visit. The books are even available to be checked out if you bring your library card with you.



Ice Tots Sign Up

November 2, 2016

Ice Tots is coming back!

The Winston Heights Mountview Community Association is bringing back Ice Tots this season!

Ice Tots is a learn to skate program for 3-5 year olds taught in a group format. Each child must be accompanied on the ice by an adult. (The adult should wear skates or non-slip footwear on the ice.)

Brittany Jones, a very qualified skating instructor with coaching and first aid certification will again teach our program, which will consist of 8 weekly 45 minute classes starting January 7th at the community rink. We will hold one set of classes at 10:00 a.m. and another at 11:00 a.m. We can take up to 10 adult/child pairs in each.

Because the Community Association will again underwrite the costs of the program, we can offer it free of charge to Community Association members and for a nominal cost of $20.00 for non-members. Similar indoor programs cost around $70.00 / child. To become a member please follow this link: membership

Preregistration is required and children must have skates and a CSA helmet. If you and your child wish to participate, please register here:
