    Got Removed from the Community Centre

    Baby duckies got removed from the community centre because there was not enough space for all the children and the parents.

    Baby Duckies started to fail now because there was no steady place for them to hold their weekly sessions. It is a community funded project but they had no place for meetings
  • Baby Duckies Reboot

    Baby duckies raised enough money in the community where they can now operate at their own facility
  • Baby duckies reaches their first 20 members

    there are now 20 families that attend Baby Duckies officially every week.
  • start yearly run for autism awareness

    this run will help ensure that Baby Duckies has the money that they need to keep up with resources for the children and keep their building
  • partnership with Glendale high school

    this partnership will help classes like parenting and early child development to get some real life examples of the things that parents have to endure. they can also get volunteer hours if they volunteer outside of school
  • buying of a bigger facility

    the facility has become too small for the amount of new families that want to join the program. Since there is lots of fundraising going on in the community, it is possible for Baby Duckies to grow and expand
  • musical therapy

    the centre started to add a musical therapy section to the program. this will especially help the children with disabilities in their development.
  • yearly fundraisers and sustainability

    the family festival and the autism awareness run are both yearly projects that allow the community to help Baby Duckies with providing resources and fun activities for the children. this would also help the director find out how much money to put aside each month to ensure future sustainability
