Testimonial
  • We eat, live, and play in this town - and our team sees this publication everywhere we go in North County! We love being part of a magazine that is so fun and entertaining.  North County Kids is perfect for the modern parent and includes some really fun celebrity content and tabloid-style layouts.  We are always looking forward to the next issue!
    Ali Grant, Owner of Be Social Public Relations
  • Advertising in the San Diego North County Kids magazine was easy and very cost effective considering the high quality of the magazine. We were able to directly quantify the investment based on the amount of coupons clipped from the magazine and redeemed at our event. Well worth the cost.
    Johnny Bell , Director of Operations of the San Diego Kids Expo and Fair
  • It has been a joy to work with North County Kids Magazine! Their enthusiasm for discovering and promoting local businesses, kids, events and programs is wonderful and refreshing. North County is lucky, as am I, to be included and highlighted in this fun publication. As the kids I cook with have told me "Amanda! I see the magazine EVERYWHERE!!!”

This toddler story time is designed for caregivers to actively participate with their child and features 20 minutes of songs, movement and stories for toddlers ages 1-3 years old. If you are able, we ask that you sit on the floor (a limited number of chairs will be available) and take part as much as possible, helping your child to listen, sing, join in and mostly HAVE FUN! To encourage focused behavior and promote the best story time experience for all involved, an adjacent outdoor patio will be available for toddlers who prefer a less-structured environment. After the story time, little ones can get a hand stamp and enjoy a 15-minute playtime with toddler-safe toys! Mondays, 11 AM & Thursdays, 10 AM. 2012
