Under the guidance of director Andrea Chowdhary, the new school provides educational childcare for kids aged 18 months to five years. Located across from the Moore Park Plaza, Apples and Angels offers a variety of enrollment options, including full-day, half-day, twice a week or three days a week. Students are taught by registered Early Childhood Educators and are separated based on age, with kids aged 18 months to two-and-a-half years going in the Toddler Room, and children two-and-a-half to five spending time in the two Montessori Pre-School Rooms. Apples and Angels incorporates different work areas - such as practical life skills, language, mathematics, cultural studies and sensorial activities - with creative time and outdoor activities to create a fun and interactive learning environment. In addition to the traditional Montessori language development materials, Andrea has also implemented Jolly Phonics and Second Step will be added in the future.

Lynne Gravelle has been helping the people of Halton Hills look and feel better since 1999. Lynne, a certified electrologist and laser technician, is the owner and operator of Bare Image Electrolysis and Laser Inc. in downtown Georgetown. As the name suggests, Bare Image offers electrolysis and laser treatments to permanently remove unwanted body hair. Electrolysis, which takes between six months and a year and half to complete, involves sending a small electric current into the hair follicle to permanently destroy the root. Laser hair removal, which usually requires between four and six treatments to take effect, uses a laser to destroy or impede several hair follicles at a time. Lynne got started in the field after having permanent hair removal done herself. She had such a positive experience that she enrolled in the Electrolysis College of Canada and became a certified electrologist and laser technician. She then opened her business and has been helping the people of Halton Hills ever since. "I like making people feel good about themselves by getting rid of the stuff they hate," Lynne says. "Women and men are so busy. I give them one less thing to worry about." 5A Conestoga Drive, Ste 300, Brampton 905-455-0488 www.avitaintegrativehealth.ca Bare Image Electrolysis & Laser Inc. 61 Main St. South, Georgetown KELLY NOLAN WOMENS HEALTH WORKSHOP WITH DR.
