FAQ's
Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions that may answer some of your questions. If you have other a question not addressed here, please feel free to ask any of the organizers or post it on the message board.
Do I have to attend every event?
Definitely not. We have a busy calendar to give our members many choices. Attend whatever works best with your family's schedule. We do require members to attend at least 1 event a month. If this isn't possible, which this happens to all of us with flu seasons and work scheduals, then please contact the group organizer so you will not be removed.
When should I RSVP yes?
Treat an RSVP just like you would any other invitation. Please only RSVP "yes" for events if you are sure you can attend. A "yes" RSVP should be treated like any other commitment you would make. A "no" RSVP is okay too...you do not need to tell us why all the time, we are all mommies and we understand. In order for all of us to meet and get to know each other it is important to attend at least once a month, but if you can attend more or weekly GREAT!
The organizer plans schedules and events around RSVP's and it is very disappointing and disrespectful when events are no-shows. Some moms feel discouraged and will often not attend because moms do not show up when they originally RSVP for an event. With small children it can be hard and so please call the organizer or a friend in the group and let them know that you will not be attending within 24 hours of the event. Thank you for making these calls, it let's all of know that the group is real and serious.
Members who "no-show" on a "yes" RSVP more than 3 times are subject to removal. We want to make sure that we keep the best security for our children and keep icky people and Lurkers away.
SICK KIDDO POLICYDo not attend an event if you or your child:
- is acting sick
- has yellow or green nasal secretions
- has diarrhea
- has vomited within 48 hours
- has fever
- has eye drainage or bloodshot eyes
- has sore throat
- has cough and fever
- has spot-like rash following low-grade fever and tiredness (might be chicken pox)
- has been on antibiotics for less than 48 hours
What if I can't make it to any the events, and they conflict with my kid's nap time?
We strongly suggest that you fill out the Polls, tell us the best times for you. Everyone has different Nap and work schedules. We're all moms and understand how hard it can be to get out of the house on time much less at all on some days. If we need you to be on time to an event, it will be noted in the description. Otherwise, come when you can and bring a cell number of a member who has also RSVP's so you can find us!
I'd like to host an event at my house and/or I have a great event suggestion. Who do I talk to?
We love when our members offer to host events or have suggestions for events! Please contact any of our organizers.
I would prefer to host a Playdate at a park – is that possible?
Absolutely! You get to pick the park, date, and time then email Danyelle and she’ll post it on the calendar. Please make sure you can attend, if something comes up please update your RSVP and an org will try to make it in your place.
I really want to attend an event but it's full. Now what?
Sometimes we have to limit the number attending because of the venue's space restrictions. (This happens more frequently in the colder weather when we are indoors.) If an event is full, please rsvp 'no' with a comment that you want to be put on the waiting list. Many times as an event nears, spaces will open and those on the waiting list will have the opportunity to attend. When a space opens up, the event's organizer will change the first 'waiting list' RSVP to a 'yes'. The waiting list works on a first come, first serve basis.
I'm having family issues now and can't make it to any events during the two month attendance period. I really want to stay in the group. Will I be removed?
Please contact an organizer to discuss your situation. The attendance guidelines were implemented to keep our group active, however we understand that something may come up. The organizers will review each situation on a case by case basis.
Can I bring an older/younger sibling to an age specific playdate?
Yes. Siblings are always welcome! If it is a home playdate you must clear it with the host mom or the group organizer.
When are your events usually scheduled?
Our event calendar varies, but the majority of our events offered are during the weekdays and in the mornings. This is to meet the schedules (especially naptimes) of our existing members.
Who can join?
We invite all moms of babies born 2005-2009 to join our group.
Do I have to be a Stay at Home Mom or a Mother of Multiples to join?
Absolutely not! The more variety the better – we all have different experiences to share with each other that will only add to our own.
I joined now what?
Please go to the calendar of events and RSVP....if you'd like to suggest an outing please do so. Our goal is to meet moms....and see our kids have fun. You will receive an email from the Organizer welcoming you to attend an event along with some group guidelines. Fill out your profile and add a photo of yourself or/and your child(ren) so we can identify you at events.
What is the message board?
This is the way to connect everyday! We hope that everyone will be active on the message board. We want to hear what you have to say! Don't be afraid to post advice, ideas, questions, recipes, or whatever interests you!
Can I self promote to the group?
If you have something that you sell or promote and would like the other group members to be aware of it, please contact the Organizer. We will have a special place on the website for promotions, in order to keep our message board clear.
Can I bring friends outside of the group to playdates?
Private home playdates – absolutely not. We must respect the mother’s home who is hosting the Playdate. If you feel you may have an exception then you must contact the org or host mother to get approval. Any issues with this is cause for immediate removal. Blending playgroups is also not allowed unless the group votes on it. Park Playdates, use your best judgment. These are public events, please keep in mind our age range when inviting others to play.Please visit our Policies page as well!
