Websites
Find Your Groups
I recommend exploring local resources for parent and child classes, such as art, music, storytime, play, and movement/dance. Check community centers, libraries, children’s museums, and toy stores for offerings in your area.
Socializing and having a community benefits both you and your baby. Explore the many (often free!) in-person and virtual options available!
