Beginning with those in the TriCity area, I'm building support for soon-to-be and newer parents who want to get it "Right from the Start".

Meet other single parents for networking, interesting discussion, good humor, and general camaraderie. Join us if you are a fun, intelligent, responsible, single adult actively engaged in the thrills and throes of parenting. Events include both family and parents only oriented activities.

As a stay-at-home dad (with a 10 month old) who is new the suburbs I wanted to start a group to meet other parents and kids in the neighborhood. I'd love to plan fun outings to the park, the library, the pool, etc. as well as casual play dates at home. I'm excited to meet other parents who are going a little stir crazy staying at home all day.

This group was created to provide parents at City Garden easy access to other families, school events, Waldorf educational opportunities …

This is a play/support group for parents who have children with sensory issues,autism, aspergers, etc. I have found that it can be tough going through this as a parent and very confusing. I would love to meet other parents going through the same thing and give the kids a playgroup with buddies that are like them. This is a very laid back group, we do not judge or force any kind of advice on eachother, this is a place for comfort, play and new friendships.
