Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Brantford: 16 dated listings in the next 60 days; 1 fall on a weekend and 0 start in the evening (the pyjama-storytime slot); the busiest single venue is Brantford Public Library with 16 of them.
Why this looks familiar: most of these programs — storytime is the big one — span ages 1–3 to 3–5, so the same sessions appear on the toddler page too. That's the library's age range, not a mix-up; where a program is only for this age, it shows only here.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Brantford's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Brantford run indoors at Brantford Public Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.

Common questions
What's on in Brantford for preschoolers right now?
The feed lists 16 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 8 to Oct 31 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for preschoolers in Brantford?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
