We want to thank all of our loyal site visitors , advertisers and community partners for continuing to support us as we grow the services provided by www . okanagan4kids . com . Without your support , this magazine would not have been possible .
Be sure to check out our website : www . okanagan4kids . com to find more family related resources , activities and events happening around the Okanagan Valley !
We are thrilled to share the first annual Okanagan4Kids . com Baby & Toddler Guide with you ! It has been an idea in the making for two years and we couldn ’ t be happier to see it become a reality . In many ways we can relate to the research and preparation that comes with pregnancy and then the anticipation of the arrival of your new bundle of joy . As new moms , we both experienced frustrations and challenges that could have been alleviated had we known about all of the resources and services available in our community at that time .
