Massachusetts - finding other toddler parents
Hi,
Out toddler is 2 1/2 and had been in day care since age 1. Now her baby sister has arrived, mom is staying at home and she is no longer going to daycare - and appears to be missing it a lot - the structure but more importantly the interaction with other kids. What are the resources we can use to perhaps locate other moms of 2-3 year olds who are up to meet 4 days a week or so at a consistent time so kids can play and socialize? So far the library/park is great but not consistent with who is there etc. Perhaps there are toddler mommy groups somewhere? Ideally in the Walpole/Canton/Norwood area south Boston. thanks! Tim |

Try Mothers and More. This is a national organization designed to provide support to SAHMs, and our local chapter does playgroups several times a week in various venues. It won't be nearly as structured as you seem to want, but will likely provide at least a nucleus of a group of friends. In addition, does it have to be the same kids every day? There are plenty of regular activities which can provide some consistent routine and structure and children to interact with, and where you'll have many of the same kids on a week to week basis, but probably not on a daily one. I have something with my daughter every morning, ranging from Kindermusik to Parent's day out to the public library to the grocery store, and she lets me know if we're in the wrong place on the wrong day. (No! NO STORE-GO MUSIC!!). |

You can find just about any group just about anywhere there. If not, she can start her own group through meetup. I found our playgroup that way and it's wonderful. |
