Our group is for parents of children from 9 months up to 2,5 years old living in East Bay. We will meet in a Glenview, Diamond or Montclair area in Oakland most of the time.  Initially places for gatherings will be in a local park (weather permitting), in a library or in one of the member's home. Down the road we may find a free space or agree to rent an inexpensive place together for the meet-ups for everybody's convenience. Children will have the opportunity to socialize by having a free play …

This is a group aimed at bringing together parents and caregivers of a child or teen with special needs. I hope to create a supportive environment where parents feel comfortable both sharing resources and looking at ways in which to find balance in the other facets of life. I plan to invite guest speakers to discuss community resources relevant to the members and am very excited to work with members' feedback for subsequent meetups.

Hey future friends! We moved from Sweden to the US a year ago and are now living in SF. We started this group to meet fun expecting parents to hang out with. We are expecting our first little bundle of joy and poop in mid August and that will of course change of lives for the better. We have tried a few of the other "new parenting groups", but they haven't really suited us. Usually too much talk about; the best strollers, possible terrible diseases, standing in line for various future import …

This Meetup group is for at-home dads in San Francisco! We're all about our kids and doing fun stuff with them during the "work week" (M-F): walks and hikes and playgrounds and sports and art and beer and books... anything really. All of us play a sizable caregiving role with our little ones, but some of us balance that role with part-time work, working evenings or weekends, consulting, project-based work, looking for a job, etc. Our meetups tend to occur on Mondays at 10am (rotating between Dol …

This group is for expecting moms and new moms in the East Bay areas--focusing on Union City, Hayward, Fremont and San Leandro locals. Many East Bay groups hold alot of meetings in Oakland, Walnut Creek and further and I thought--hey there are some really cool spots right here in Fremont or Hayward and great views at the Marina in SL or eateries in Union City. I'm an expectant mom of my FIRST baby due in October 2013 and I am 33 so I would definitely like to meet other women my age that are exper …

We are new to Crocker Highlands, and thought this group would be a good way to meet neighbors and give our children the chance to become friends before they become classmates. We realize that for some of your children, elementary school may be several (if not many) years away. We are hopeful that this group will serve as an opportunity for babies, toddlers an …

Children and teens today lead lives full of stress. They are under pressure to perform, pressure to get good grades, and social pressure from their peers. At the same time parents have their own stresses to do with the practicalities of life. We come together at least once a month for fun and interactive workshops (for 8-13 year olds) where kids are in a safe, structured and nurturing environment and they can have some fun. Each workshop is led by a professional. We play games, and learn f …

We are a culturally diverse, mature, fun and down to earth group, with a mission to provide fun adventures and great learning to our children and also provide support and build solid friendships for us adults and learn from each other. "It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynar …
