How to Spot a Puppy Mill vs. a Responsible Breeder (And Why It Matters)
Bringing a puppy or kitten home is one of life’s great joys — but not all breeders are created equal. Here’s how to tell the difference before you fall in love.
Bringing together providers from every stage of a child’s learning journey under one roof, it is a one-stop shop for families actively planning their child’s education.
Choosing a school, kindergarten, or anything related to kids can be overwhelming.
Mix that with keeping the little ones entertained while you visit them all is enough to tip the calmest of parents over the edge.
So, we created an event where all the options could come together in one place!
Families can explore the many options and get a genuine feel for programs through demonstrations and face-to-face conversations. Kids can try out various activities through workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and come-and-try sessions.
All in a family-friendly, supportive space where tantrums happen, coffee flows, and there’s zero judgment.
Created by parents for parents, it is the best way to try out the many learning pathways for kids, with kids.
All in a FREE fun-filled family day out!
Families who want to discover the current and best educational and development opportunities for their children, in a fun, family-friendly environment.
From early learning and child care to tutoring and tertiary education, it is an unmissable event for parents and carers looking for education options in southeast Queensland.
