Things to Do with Kids in Connecticut

Super Bargains and FREE Family Fun from This Month’s Sponsors

Today we are sending out April showers of thanks to our wonderful sponsors. Of course, we want to thank them for supporting our site and helping us to keep “scouting your CT outing.” But this monthly Sponsor Shout-Out is also a great opportunity for you, our readers, to learn more about these great businesses with lots to offer to CT families. (And you can always find a list of our current sponsors on our Sponsor Love page.)

This month we are pleased to welcome back Bright Horizons, with their newly renovated early education and preschool center in Glastonbury. We are also thrilled to reintroduce our readers to Cute Kids Consignment Sales, one of our favorite places to score oodles of bargains for our little ones (you may have seen our post about this semi-annual event). And we are excited to remind readers about our official OAAM photographer, Kathryn Deane Photography, who has recently added to her capabilities with a new, natural light studio in her home that’s perfect for newborn sessions.

So keep reading for more information about these family-oriented businesses. They might be just what you’ve been searching for!

Cute Kids Consignment Sale is a high quality seasonal children’s consignment sale offering opportunities to shop and/or sell. They believe in recycling and are committed to helping our environment by giving people a way to part with things they no longer need. They also serve the community by passing on donated items to local charities. At Cute Kids they are always looking for new sellers and new shoppers – come check them out this May 16th to May 18th at 2080 Blvd in West Hartford (click here for details). Tons of quality clothing, toys, accessories, and equipment for babies and children! Stay tuned for a GIVEAWAY coming up soon where you can get FREE entry to the May 15th pre-sale!

Bright Horizons Early Education and Preschool in Glastonbury at 22 Village Place is hosting a Well Aware Open House on Saturday, May 18th, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This FREE event includes tons of family-friendly activities like a yoga class, planting vegetables and flowers as a Garden Works activity, healthy snack preparation (fruit smoothies, anyone?), and fun fitness activities in their NEW Movement Matters Zone. Plus, every family attending is entered to win a Cooking Basket including a multi-cultural cookbook, apron, and various cooking utensils. Bring a friend and you’ll also receive a subscription to The Six o’Clock Scramble, an online menu planning guide! While you’re there, meet the Bright Horizons teachers and staff, take a tour of the newly renovated facility, and get additional information about enrolling your little one in their fall programs.
Kathryn Deane is a natural light photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, child, family, and senior portrait photography. Kathryn infuses fun, patience, and creativity into every session. To learn more about Kathryn, view her work, or check out some of her latest sessions, please visit her website at www.kathryndeane.com. (You can also read about our OAAM photo shoot with Kathryn here.)

Once again, a great big “thank you” to our wonderful sponsors. They certainly help keep things going here at OAAM, and we hope that you will keep them in mind now and in the future.
