RFC EarlyON will be having an in-person workshop for Toilet Learning: Readiness, Routines & Realistic Expectations on Tuesday September 22nd 9:30am-11am @ 8243 Victoria St. Metcalfe ON.

Registration is Required: https://www.ruralfamilyconnections.ca/programs/earlyon

Join us for a supportive and practical workshop designed to help parents navigate toilet learning with confidence. We’ll explore signs of readiness, different approaches, common challenges, and how to support your child in a calm, pressure-free way. This session focuses on development, emotional readiness, and realistic expectations — not trends or one “right” method.

Perfect for parents and caregivers of children 18 months to 4 years who are preparing for or currently in the toilet learning stage. Parents/caregivers with infants are also welcome to come.
Children are welcome to come - however keep in mind it is a small space, and part of the room will be set up for the workshop. If you have any questions, please reach out by email: [email protected]

*Those who attend will receive free pull ups sized 4-6!
