About Us

Welcome to the OTC! Just as cool as the OC and way more informative.

We are Greater Moncton’s go to site for parents. OutsideTheCrib.com is Greater Moncton’s first locally produced parenting resource and information guide. It includes activities your entire family can enjoy together, classes and programs you can enrol your child in, childcare & health information, and so much more!

The OTC’s mission is to connect parents to each other and the community by arming them with the information they need to get the most from active living and entertainment opportunities. We strive to get families “outside of the crib” and live healthier lifestyles by participating in activities that will enrich the mind, body and soul.

After giving birth to my first daughter in 2004, I struggled to find things to do in the community and connect with other moms. Because of my ‘first-time mom’ anxieties and the chilly winter months, I found the need to get out of the house overwhelming. Hence the makings of OutsideTheCrib.com. Just like its name says, this site provides the information needed to get the baby out of the crib and the parent out of the house. Having a child doesn’t have to be an isolating experience. In fact, having a child opens you up to an entirely new community. This is your road map. Use it to help navigate through the wonderful world of parenting. Have fun out there!
