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".

Come meet other parents in the area, and talk about the joys and tribulations of being a parent. All are welcome, dads too! Childcare will be provided during events.

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.

This playgroup was started with a specific goal to find parents of "only children" toddler age who are interested in sharing the obstacles involved in parenting, creating more social opportunities for our sons/daughters and simply to have fun with your children and meet more parents with like interests.  Toddler age is 4-7.  

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.

… Occasionally, we might also have some group outings where the kids are invited out--so that non-custodial as well as parents with custody can mingle and have their children meet others in similar situations.
