Reviews from local GTA parents looking for services like yours:

Child's Life provides wonderful access to sites that cater strictly to child activities. As newer grandparents, we are doing this all over again, but Child's Life has certainly simplified it. Thank you.
C. AndersonToronto, ON
My favourite thing about Child's Life is that it is very informative when it comes to activities with kids. We don't usually know what's going on otherwise and the site gives us information about things to do with our kids or for the family as well.
F. FoscariniMarkham, ON
We enjoy reading about the activities in our city to do with the kids. They inspire us to get out there and enjoy what my city has to offer... there is so much going on in the GTA that having it brought to you in one site really helps my family.
A. Thomaidis-Gobel​Toronto, ON
It keeps me well informed about what is going on - my 'go to' source on days when I am thinking about what to do with my kids!​
I. Granic-Tarantini​Richmond Hill, ON​
Great ideas for this grandma to take my grandchildren places on our special days together. I need all the help I can get!! Thanks.
N. LougheadWhitby, ON
Amazing, keeping you updated with events. I’m always looking for things to do with my daughter. Being a single mom outings can get expensive. Child’s life is great for giving me choices to do things that are inexpensive or FREE!
M. DoughtyMississauga, ON
I like that I get to know what is happening everywhere - including outside the GTA!​
T. Naulls​Pickering, ON
I love the fact that Child’s Life is easy to browse and has so many great links to events, articles and everything under the sun parents could need. I love browsing this site and highly recommend it.
D. CribbiePort Hope, ON
I have recommended many friends and families to Child's Life. Interesting activities, useful information and events for families to enjoy. It's a fabulous resource for families and I truly enjoy receiving the newsletter.
