PLAYGROUPS AND INTEREST GROUPS


Age-Based Playgroups


Introduce your kids to their first friendships and make some of your own!


Typically our playgroups are organized by birthdate in six-month windows. We encourage you to join the playgroup that corresponds with your child’s birthdate, but you are also welcome to explore others. (For example, kids on the cusp of two playgroups often join both to find the best fit or double their fun.)


Playdates can happen in homes, at local attractions, or in parks. Please don’t shy away from joining, even if you don’t feel comfortable hosting in your home.


Dads, nannies, and other childcare providers are welcome to bring your child(ren) to playdates and, unless otherwise specified by the host, older siblings are welcome.



To register for a playgroup or interest group:


  1. Click on the Registration tab under Playgroups in the top menu bar.
  2. Scroll down to find the group you are interested in joining.
  3. Click “View Members”
  4. Click “Sign me up”
  5. A pop-up will confirm that “You are now a participant in…”
  6. Please allow 30 minutes for this change to take effect. After this time you should receive any emails that go out to this group. You can also view any old emails under the Forums tab. (Scroll down to find the Forum of the same name.)
  7. If at any time you want to leave a group, repeat these steps, but click on the “Remove me” button in step 4.

Specialty Playgroups and Interest Groups


Coastside Families Club also offers a variety of interest groups that members can join. For example, moms interested in walking with friends are invited to join WalkingMoms. We also have specialty playgroups for Moms of Multiples and for specific neighborhoods. You can explore all the options by clicking on the Registration tab under Playgroups.



Playgroups aim to offer: 


• An active playgroup until the children are entering Kindergarten

• 1 x weekend playdate per quarter

• 2 x weekday playdate per month

• 4 x Moms' nights out per year

• Group encouragement to attend CFC events, meetings, speakers, etc.

• A monthly email communicating events for the playgroup and the CFC, as a whole.

• An annual traditional event (a potluck party, ice cream social, etc...) just for your playgroup. Take pictures and watch your kids grow!


Playgroups FAQ:  


1. My baby is too little to play. Why should I join a playgroup?

Playgroups give you an opportunity to meet other mothers with children the same age as your own, allowing you to develop a small support network within our large club. And, you will enjoy watching your child's first friendships develop over time. See our Playgroup Information page for a description of the many types of playgroups we offer. 


2. I only want to join a playgroup. Do I need to join the Coastside Families Club?

Yes, playgroups are one of the many benefits of membership.


3. How do I join a playgroup?

We form a new playgroup every six months or as needed. Review our Playgroup Information page for more information and for directions on how to sign up. Contact our Playgroup Coordinator if you have any additional questions.
