Launched in 2020 in partnership with the Parenting in Ottawa Facebook page, OCYI hosts a regular series where Ottawa parents can "just ask" their questions to an expert! Follow our Twitter, Instagram, or the Parenting in Ottawa Facebook page to stay up to date about when organizations will be available for questions. For supplemental information from prior sessions, click here. No future sessions are scheduled at this time.

If your organization is interested in being an expert for a session, contact info@growingupgreat.ca

Our experts share so much good information that sometimes we have extra to post right here!

The January 19, 2022 edition of the Just Ask series on the Parenting in Ottawa Facebook Page brings together representatives from each of Ottawa's four school boards to answer questions about registering children for kindergarten. There is a lot in common for each board, and they have their own unique pieces, too. To learn more in depth about an individual board, download their information document below. Each information sheet includes links to learn more about the programs, including how to register with that board.
