Our Story
The idea for York Region Baby was born in
2005 with the birth of of Editor's first child,
but at that time it was scribbles in a file foler,
where she kept all her valuable information on
parenting, resources and activities in the area.
York Region Baby became reality in early 2006
with the launch of a new website for parents
and expectant parents serving York Region.
This independant online parenting magazine
servingYork Region, includingNewmarket, Aurora,
Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Keswick and beyond
was meet with great enthusiam from parents, as well as sponsors.
York Region Baby showcased news and information for expectant and new parents, with highlights including product & book reviews, relevant parenting articles, craft ideas, and an information resource centre for prenatal, postnatal and toddler related topics.
But in March 2008, it was time for York Region Baby to grow up! And on March 1 2008, 2 years after the launch of York Region Baby morphed into York Region Parent, now serving not just parents of babies and toddlers, but of preschoolers up to age 10.
