Baby Steps at the Kids & Baby Expo 2026 – A Celebration of Learning, Play, and Community

The Kids & Baby Expo 2026 at Emperors Palace was nothing short of extraordinary and Baby Steps was incredibly proud to be part of such a vibrant and engaging event. This year’s expo brought together families, educators and businesses from across the community, all with a shared passion for children and early childhood development and Baby Steps truly made its mark.

From the moment the doors opened, our stand was alive with energy. Our team showed up loud, proud, and full of heart, creating a space where visitors could experience what a day in the life of Baby Steps truly looks like. Through interactive activities, meaningful conversations, and engaging demonstrations, we gave families an authentic glimpse into our nurturing, stimulating, and joyful learning environments across our six branches.

A World of Entertainment and Joy

Our Kids’ Fun Area quickly became one of the most popular spaces at the expo, and for good reason. It was filled with laughter, creativity and non-stop excitement thanks to our incredible partners:
  • Michael the Magician brought smiles to every face with his magic tricks, vibrant face painting, and mesmerizing giant bubbles.
  • A standout feature of our expo presence was our collaboration with Wild and Earthly, who captivated audiences with an educational talk on exotic and reptile animals.
  • Darin the Magician wowed audiences with an engaging and themed magic show that kept children completely captivated.
  • Mosaic with Patricia gave children the opportunity to express their creativity through hands-on mosaic art activities.
  • B-Active once again elevated the experience with energetic sports and “busy body” activities that had children moving, laughing and fully engaged.
  • Jumpoholics brought the bounce and fun with their trampoline sessions, combining movement, rhythm and pure joy.
  • Eunice’s Creative Face Painting transformed little faces into magical characters, adding colour and imagination to the day.
  • Plus 1 Events and Media created a beautifully set-up interactive space with themed activities that kept children entertained while showcasing their incredible event styling expertise.
These are not just expo collaborators, these are the trusted partners we regularly work with at Baby Steps events and they consistently help us create magical, memorable experiences for our children.
 

Meet Our Stars: Tess and Kyle

One of the biggest highlights of the expo was the debut of our brand-new mascots, Tess and Kyle. They were an absolute hit! Children couldn’t get enough of them and they quickly became the heart of our stand bringing smiles, hugs and excitement wherever they went.

Showcasing the Baby Steps Experience

Our stand also proudly showcased:
  • Our innovative curriculum
  • The unique offerings across our six Baby Steps branches
  • Our focus on holistic development, including gross motor, fine motor, perceptual skills, and emotional growth
  • The loving and supportive environment that defines Baby Steps
We had the privilege of connecting with so many families, answering questions and building meaningful relationships within our community. It was incredibly rewarding to see parents resonate with our approach and values.

A True Community Experience

Beyond our own stand, the expo gave us the opportunity to connect with a wide range of inspiring businesses and professionals in the early childhood space. It was a reminder of how powerful collaboration can be when we all work toward enriching children’s lives.

To all the parents and families who visited us, thank you. Your support, enthusiasm and engagement made the experience even more special.
