Look for an Existing Group To save you some time, you may want to look for an existing group in your area first. Contact local churches, libraries, YMCAs and hospitals in your area. Most support groups for parents meet in locations such as these. Surf the Internet for an existing group. Check the community calendar of your local newspaper.
Many groups advertise their meetings.
There are also organizations for at-home dads, working parents, parents of multiples, etc. Although many of them require fees, they are nominal and they cover a variety of services, such as playgroups. Even if you do find other existing playgroups, you may prefer to start your own. That way, you can custom-design the perfect playgroup for you and your child. Make a few preliminary decisions about the kind of group that you and your child would like.
