Founded in 1984 by Beverly Topping as a 48-page, saddle-stitched booklet distributed through doctors' offices, Today's Parent was created as a trusted resource for parents. The magazine quickly gained popularity thanks to its approachable, research-based content. Over the years, it expanded to cover a wide range of parenting topics, including pregnancy, child development, family life, education and health. In March 2019, Today's Parent was acquired by SJC as part of its purchase of Rogers Media's publishing division, marking a new era for the brand.
