Infant and Child Studies group is a group of researchers interested in better understanding child cognition: so how kids learn! All our studies are designed as games for children to play while we observe how they respond to various toys, videos or sounds. The activities are fun for the kids, and help us to understand concepts like how children learn new words, when children can begin to understand math, or what learning strategies kids use to understand new concepts. We deliver studies in person, as well as online and in take home formats.

University of Guelph. part of the Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab, where we research ways to support families of children experiencing mental health challenges.
The Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab at the University of Guelph is currently running an Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) caregiver group (so children don't attend the group itself).
This group is aimed at supporting caregivers with children aged 7 to 15 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or behavioural difficulties, with our next group starting at the beginning of March. Fees for therapy are on sliding scale starting at $0 depending on financial need.
If interested in learning more, please fill out this brief, secure survey with your name, email, and phone number, and we will be in touch!

Family Meal Giveaway at Plutus Greek Food in Waterloo

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes we did receive a complimentary meal, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance at a FREE MEAL TOO! Enter the contest (info at the bottom of this post)



If you love discovering amazing local food spots in Kitchener Waterloo, you are going to want to enter this contest. I recently visited Plutus Greek Food, conveniently located at King and University in Waterloo, and after speaking with the team I learned something that made me appreciate the restaurant even more. The entire concept came from their own personal health journey. They wanted to bring their knowledge, their passion for fresh ingredients, and their commitment to balanced eating to the Kitchener Waterloo community. That intention shines through in every bite.

During my visit I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki plate, and it was absolutely delicious. The grilled marinated chicken was tender and flavourful, served with rice, lemon potatoes, and a made to order Greek salad with their signature ladolemono dressing. The plate also came with scratch made tzatziki that was so fresh and creamy. Alongside the meal I tried their handmade Spanakopita which was warm, flaky, and packed with spinach and feta. Then came Nicko’s Best Homemade Baklava, which truly is the best way to top off a wonderful meal. Every layer tasted like a celebration.

Plutus Greek Food is the perfect blend of a restaurant with a quick service set up. You get the convenience of fast service with the quality and care of an authentic Greek Restaurant. It is ideal for families, students, busy parents, and anyone who wants a wholesome meal without the wait. The name Plutus comes from the Greek god of abundance, and it fits perfectly because the portions, the flavours, and the hospitality all feel generous.

Grand Opening Special
