Our Story

Founded by Lucy Benayon in 2004, Orange Dot has been inspiring and supporting families in Toronto for more than 20 years. Sparked by her own journey into motherhood with her four children, Lucy recognized how unprepared many parents felt for the arrival of their first baby and dedicated her life to providing real, practical, and compassionate guidance. What began with Prenatal 101 grew into a full spectrum of programs—from conscious parenting workshops, pre and postnatal fitness to music-and-movement classes for little ones—each designed to empower families with knowledge, strength, and connection. Drawing on her background as a dancer, performer, Pilates instructor and Conscious Parenting coach, Lucy has created a vibrant community where parents feel stronger, children thrive, and families grow together. At Orange Dot, you’ll find more than just classes—you’ll discover a supportive community, an uplifting energy, and an inspiration that carries you through every stage of parenthood.

Feel the energy. Take the journey. Get inspired!

Testimonials
Changing lives one mom & one child at a time, testimonials....

"As we are mere weeks away from my Lucy starting daycare, I wanted to take this time to THANK YOU for the work, dedication, and HEART you have put into the programming. When I became a first-time mom 13 months ago, I knew that I wanted to take my daughter to consistent, high-quality baby programming in a supportive setting. I am so glad that I came across the Orange Dot program in January 2023. There is no shortage of mommy + me classes to choose from in Toronto/GTA, but what makes Orange Dot stand out is the high quality of the programming, the genuine care of the teachers, and the variety of classes to choose from for both mom and baby. Over the months, Lucy and I have enjoyed attending Steps on Broadway with Laura and Mark, Getting Ready for Shabbat with Silvana, ...I have seen Lucy grow and transform from a sleepy baby to an active toddler whose love of music continues to grow, and I attribute much of that to Orange Dot. I take my daughter to other programs as well but, Lucy, truly I have yet to come across a director that cares as much about the well-being of the babies AND the mothers as much as you. When you ask us new moms how we are doing in a casual circle after class, I know you mean it. When you ask for feedback on a new program, I know you will make every effort to incorporate it. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing my daughter and I to bond and grow together in our community."

"My expectations were high, but they were completely exceeded the first time I stepped into a Broadway Babies class with my daughter Rosalie, who was 8 months when we started. We loved everything, from the instructors to the music to the general vibes of the place. .....

I can’t say enough good things about classes. My only regret is that I have to return to work soon and won’t be able to attend as many. Thank you Lucy and Silvana!"

Thank you,

“Lucy knows exactly what postpartum moms need and tailors her classes to each mom and baby. She brings so much excitement, positivity and love to everyone. I got into shape using the cardio program and loved that our babies were incorporated for special programming too! It helped me bond even more with my son and I benefited so much hearing stories from Lucy and the other moms ❤️”

Stephanie Klien & Baby Jacob 4 months September 2025

 

“I am so lucky to have found Lucy and the Orange Dot community. I was the first of my friends to have a baby, in fact, I never even held a baby until I had my own. I had no idea what I was doing and my husband and I felt very alone. I heard about it Orange Dot from a friend whose cousin went there years earlier and the next day I decided to try it out. As soon as I walked in the door I felt the energy that would eventually shape how I parent. 12 years and 3 amazing kids later and Lucy is still the one I call when I need support, have a question about parenting or just want to vent. Plus, I sing the “Bye Bye Birdie” song to my kids every day still. This is a no judgement, come as you are community and I am so grateful that I walked through those doors when I did. I have and will always refer to Lucy as the mother of all mothers. Thank you, I am forever grateful.” Heather, Rob Larson, Allen, Charlie and Jacob. 2025
