Dear Readers,

Well what a year it has been! I can't believe how the time has flown and we are
already printing the 17th edition of Help! This has been a very big year of learning for
me and admittedly, there have been many bumps along the way but we made it! And
this edition may be one of our best ever. This year would not have been possible with-
out you and our fantastic advertisers.

Of course I must also thank everyone at Help who ensured a smooth transition from
Shari and Elisa to me. Everyone stepped up to ensure that nothing was missed. You
can see in this picture our Help team and our kids - all of us make sure that Help We've
Got Kids is the most comprehensive directory.

We hope you like the changes that have been made here at Help. We are excited
about the many changes and enhancements to come.

Please send us your thoughts and suggestions on our products, we would love to hear
from you at info@helpwevegotkids.com.

Thank you for your support!

Tracie

Dedication & Appreciation


Thanks to my family - your patience and support was inspiring and energizing this past
year - I could not have done this without you.

Special thanks to the people working with us - you made this year a success! Thanks
to Karrie for your tireless work and energy, Mardi for your hard work and help, Jan and
Steve at Digitally Creative for design and layout and Maija Gadzane for our great cover.
And of course thanks to Shari and Elisa for being there for me anytime I needed help.

Did you know


kids get four times
more exposure to
non-organic food
toxins than
adults?

Organic Produce is a Healthier Choice


Organic farming produces foods that are free of pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides, cleaning agents and various residues.
Healthy farms and gardens produce plants that we can
harvest at the perfect time, at their peak flavour and nutrition,
getting maximum taste and health benefits for our bodies.

Children receive four times more exposure than adults, to at


least eighty widely-used cancer-causing pesticides in food.
The food choices we make now will impact our children's
health in the future.
Organics Delivered offers 100%
certified organic fruits and
vegetables delivered directly to
your home all year round. Far
more affordable than retail,
totally convenient and offering
an assortment and selection you
won't find at your grocer,

FAQs
• Why do you have so many listings when other directories seem to have only a few?
Our goal is to make our directories as comprehensive as possible so they are useful to parents like us. You
can't have a comprehensive directory if the only companies listed are those that pay. That's why we offer
FREE listings to all companies providing products/services to kids in the GTA. Some companies choose to
have additional exposure but are under no obligation to do so. If you would like to be listed, or you know
of a company that should be included, please contact us.

• If I have the book, why do I need the website?


Readers tell us that both the book AND the website are convenient ways to access information. We find
that people use both, depending on where they are and what they are doing. The information and offer-
ings are slightly different so they really are complementary.

• Is this a coupon book or a directory?


While we are mainly in the directory business, with thousands of listings of kids' products, services, activ-
ities and programs, we thought you might appreciate a little extra value too! There are $3000-4000 dol-
lars of money-saving coupons at the back of each book and using just one will cover the cost of your book.
They are all good until the end of 2010, so use them and save!

• What are the boxed listings? Are those the ones you recommend?
We do not endorse any company listed - the boxed ones are companies that have chosen to pay a little
extra to provide extra information or highlight their listings. You should thoroughly research and ask for
references from any company you choose to use - and we always appreciate when you tell the compa-
nies where you found them.

• I have last year's book - do I really need this year's too?


New companies pop up every day, and others, for a variety of reasons, close their doors. This year, we
have over 435 listings that were not in last year's book. That's why when people ask us if they should buy
a new book every year, we tell them DEFINITELY!

Enjoy! And please feel free to ask us anything that we may have forgotten to address here.

After School & Weekend Activities


t is interesting how the “over-programming” debate goes on and on. Some years, the “pros” win it,
I arguing that kids will be well rounded, stay away from the tv, be social, be busy, get lots of opportunities
to try new and different things, etc. Then, there are the “cons” who are moving back into the mainstream
now. They believe that a little programming is a good thing, but with too much, kids get burned out. There
is a new focus on 2 key words: playtime and downtime. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't do anything.
It means that we should pick and choose just a few things every year in the hope that they find one they
love. The goal is balance. Kids still welcome the opportunity to be creative, be intellectually challenged or
just burn off excess energy. In addition, though, they value the time to play hide and seek, pick up basket-
ball or even just sit and read. Check out the wonderful choices for your structured program time in this
section.

Amusement Centres
aser tag, bowling, mini golf…We love when they tell us they want to do these things (its embarrassing
L to admit we'd do them even without them - they're fun!). When you call to reserve, don't forget to ask if
there is a minimum age - some of the laser tag and paintball type places have one.

If your little one doesn't meet the minimum, consider visiting an indoor playground. Playgrounds are a
wonderful place for kids to learn to play by themselves while parents watch from a distance. Some have
parent-tot programs or even fitness classes and others offer babysitting. Additional listings for indoor play-
grounds can be found in the Birthday Parties section. Some playgrounds are closed for weekend birthday
parties so call for the hours at each location.

Birthday Parties
s usual, this is the largest section of our book. Parents tell us that when birthday time comes around,
A they bring this book to storytime and instead of reading story books, they cuddle up with Help! and go
through all the options with their birthday child. With the help of the companies in this section, you can
break out of your birthday rut and find something brand new that your neighbourhood has not yet tried.
Or…find the party that your child has talked about for the past year and do a repeat at your place. We
have both “parties that come to you” and “party places” that host, entertain and clean up. Don't forget
that you can also rent amusements, games or jumping castles for a backyard or community centre party.
The ideas in this section range from sports, activities & music to rock climbing, art…you'll find it all here.

Remember to check both the coupon section at the back of the book as well as our online coupon section
for valuable savings on many of the party options.

In addition to what appears in this section, there are other chapters which can assist you in finding a per-
fect party for your child - check listings in Farms Are Fun!, Amusements (esp. bowling, mini golf), After
School Lessons and Sports as many listees don't appear in multiple categories.

You will find the following sub-categories in this section:


Cakes & Cookies; Inflatables & Party Rentals; Loot Bags, Supplies & Decorations; Parties that Come to
You; Party Places.

Breastfeeding Support & Accessories


e don't profess to tell you whether to choose breast or bottle - that decision is very personal.
W However, if you did choose breast, you may have found that it isn't as easy as it sounded. While it
seems that breastfeeding should be natural, it can be frustrating. Follow your instincts; if something does-
n't feel right, it may be time to consult an expert. Don't wait because babies can get dehydrated quickly.

Camps
etween us at the office, we have 6 kids and believe us when we say, we have experienced wide
B ranges of camp experiences. When we say that Ontario is known world-wide for its excellence and
variety in summer camps, you can believe us. There are many choices of camps, from traditional to spe-
cialty and week-long day camps to summer-long sleepover camps. Some are right for some kids…some
are right for others.

The annual Camping Guide, available on-line from the Ontario Camping Association at www.ontario-
camps.ca lists information on hundreds of accredited camps. It also lists the kinds of things your should
ask the camp, and the kinds of things that may help you decide where to send your child.
Just because they aren't accredited doesn't mean they aren't good - some smaller neighbourhood camps
may not be looking for accreditation and some larger ones may still be in the middle of the lengthy accred-
itation process.

Break camps can help parents find a fun activity for those times when kids are off school: winter,
March/Passover break, and even PA days. Kids can try a new sport, art or other activity for a week or two
and parents without childcare can be assured that their kids are happy and active while off school. Many
centres that teach gymnastics, trampoline, karate, arts & crafts, computers, reading & math and general
sports offer camp programs too. Check the After School and Sports sections for camp ideas that may not
be listed here.

Childcare
his section is very popular with parents and grows every year - it is also one which is virtually impossi-
T ble for us to claim comprehensiveness as there are thousands of licensed and unlicensed day care
centres and providers in Toronto. With all childcare options, parents should ALWAYS ask for references
and should trust their instincts. If you think something isn't right, there are ways of monitoring the situa-
tion. Safety is always primary.

There are many home childcare centres to investigate as well as traditional daycares - each has pros and
cons. You may also wish to call Toronto Children's Services at 392-5437 or online at www.toronto.ca/chil-
dren for their list of subsidized day care.

If you have more than one child, it may be more cost-effective to have a nanny. Nannies are also good if
you have childcare needs that don't fit into a standard daycare's structure or hours. There are also several
services which offer emergency or temporary in-your-home child care- a great idea for unexpected child-
care needs like sick kids, respite, school strikes or even just a weekend getaway. We also have listings for
baby nurses who can be an amazing help to parents during the first weeks when they come home from
the hospital.

Children’s Shoes
t is insane how quickly children can outgrow their shoes! In some cases (esp with boys), it is equally
Iinsane how quickly they can make a new pair look years old! Whether you are looking for a new pair for
your child's squished toes or a second pair to give that first pair a day off, children's shoe stores can help.
Make sure you check your children's shoes often to ensure they have not outgrown them. Small children
can outgrow their shoes as often as every 2-3 months if they are going through a growth spurt. Given that
we are always shopping for shoes, we appreciate visiting stores that specifically focus on selection and
expertise targeted at kids. From traditional to funky and from school shoes to party ones, these stores will
make sure your children's feet are well shod!

Children’s Wear
oes your child have a button that says “I dressed myself”? We should all have one as it lets us off the
D hook when our children put together combinations that make us cringe! Children like to express their
independence and style through their clothing. We're inclined to let them since it is a very non-permanent
way of doing so. In Toronto, there are clothing stores to suit every child's taste, every occasion and every
parent's budget. From everyday wear to special occasion clothing - you can find the perfect outfit for your
function.

We also list specialty items such as Sun protective clothing for kids (and adults) which has come a long
way and is now stylish as well as protective, dancewear and costume stores.

You will find the following sub-categories in this section:


Children's Wear Stores; Costumes, Dress-up & Dancewear; Online/Catalogue Shopping & Home Parties;
Special Occasion Wear; Sun Protective Clothing.

Counselling & Support Services


ometimes a teacher or guidance counselor will identify a peer, school or social issue. Sometimes it will
S be obvious to the parent that a child needs assistance with anxiety and phobias, or with familial/social
relationships. Specialists can really make a difference to a child, and to his/her future. Counselors can
also help parents with family dynamics, behaviour, spousal relationships or just offer support to a parent
feeling alone or overwhelmed. We have moved the parenting classes subcategory to this section because
we feel that they really do fall into the support area. Check them out for some professional assistance.

Education
ducation is a matter of ongoing evaluation. Children change and so do their educational needs. Parents
E need to monitor the situation so that they can make necessary changes quickly. Sometimes just an
assessment or tutoring or enrichment may suffice; other times, a change in school may be required.

Our biggest piece of advice is be proactive when it comes to your child's education. Although the teachers
and schools want your child to succeed, they have many children to look after. If you have questions or
concerns, bring them up with the teachers and ask for assistance. You are the parent - trust your instincts.

Modeling & Talent


uccess in life is often about doing a good job of marketing yourself and modeling/acting can be an
S excellent way to gain these lifeskills. If your child is interested in modeling or acting and you are ready
to commit to taking them to auditions, consider getting some professional advice. It should not require a
substantial monetary commitment up front, nor should your child require a professional portfolio to get
started (don't work with agencies that require it). Call the various agencies listed here and ask as many
questions as you can, especially before you sign something. It is always a good idea to talk to the parents
of other kids the agency represents. You can also ask for references and check with AMIS. They can tell
you what to look for and what to watch out for. Reassure your child that his/her success (or lack of suc-
cess) is not a reflection of how attractive or likable he is -sometimes it's just luck.

Nearly New
n our current economic times when everyone is cutting back, we are especially happy to visit our closest
Inearly new store. Nearly New shops are a great way to purchase everything from clothing, baby acces-
sories, and furniture, to outerwear and special occasion wear. Nearly new does not mean old or worn out.
Most resale or consignment shops will only accept current clothing styles and are careful that the equip-
ment they carry meets current standards.

These stores are also where you would fine that extra high chair, stroller or crib for Grandma's house or
the cottage and for the stuff that you want, but don't really need. They are also a great place to sell good
quality/good condition clothing, furniture and accessories.

Parent/Tot Drop Off Programs (0-6yrs)


esearch has shown that the first 5 years of life are vital developmental years and that whatever we do
R with our children during those formative years will impact them for the rest of their lives. There are
programs ranging from free government sponsored Early Years Centres, and storytelling to art, dance,
sports and drama. Some of the programs are for a parent/caregiver with the child and others are appropri-
ate for an older child without a caregiver. These are perfect for kids in half day preschool or kindergarten
looking to fill the remainder of the day.

You will also find companies offering fitness programs for new parents looking to get back in shape and
spend time with their baby. Check out these listings for new and interesting things to do together.

Photography for Children & Families


e live in a snap-happy environment, with photo cell-phones and digital cameras. While these cam-
W eras are excellent for capturing candid moments of individual members, some families cherish a
professionally composed photo that includes the whole family, all of the kids, or just a single child.
Professional photographers have the ability to capture a special moment in time. They are well schooled
in how to deal with the short attention spans of little ones and can usually even make the adults look
good! Ask about options for colour, black and white, sepia or even hand colouring. Some will come to your
location while others only work in their studio. Portfolios are often online.

Play Equipment
lay equipment may be expensive, but our children have spent hours swinging, sliding and hanging from
P our equipment and we have even been able to add components to the systems as they got older.
Consider asking family and friends to contribute to a set in lieu of birthday and holiday presents for a year,
and trust us, your kids will never miss the gifts they didn't get! Don't forget though, no matter how old your
children, they still need supervision on play equipment.

cial event or seminar. Some companies do larger scale shows that are great for fairs, end of year parties,

Sports
here are no downsides that we are aware of to having your children participate in recreational sports.
T Not only is any activity vital in this age of childhood obesity, but the camaraderie and team support
found in sport is wonderful for children of any ability. If your children happen to find a sport that they love
for a lifetime, that is even better! The site www.Sportalliance.com <http://www.Sportalliance.com> is a
great place to find sports contacts for your kids. Under “Contact us” click on the “Sport and Rec
Organizations” link for list of the associations for every sport you have heard of and some you haven't! We
suggest that this be the starting point for anyone looking to find teams or coaches for their child.

One other thing, the Government of Canada now allows a non-refundable children's fitness tax credit on
eligible amounts of up to $500 paid by parents to register a child in an eligible program of physical activity.
You can find out more about this credit by going to the government site www.cra-arc.gc.ca/fitness/#Top or
click on the link on the bottom right corner of the sport alliance page.
