Default Moving to Portage w/ 4 yo.

Hi! We are moving to Portage next month and I need to get my very social son some friends quickly! Where's a good place to meet kids and moms when school is not in the picture? Are there any moms groups?

Portage has a lot of nice parks and trailways where you can meet all kinds of people.

Cool Been there..okay, not literally THERE, but YKWIM

Hi.

Try the Portage District library (Welcome to the Portage District Library) they have story times and that's a great way to make connections (from which you could start some kind of rotating playgroup or something ). Also, try MichiganMoms | Where Moms Connect and I bet you could make some connections that way. Also, churches often have play groups, etc, so if you tried a church (had to get a plug in for Jesus) near your home you would probably meet some other kids right away. I wish you the best of luck in your move.

meetup.com

mops.com

Portage area newcomersclub.com lists playgroups:

Portage Area Newcomers Club


Go to yahoo.com and look for playdate groups in your specific area.

Also, go to the library and local parks. Strike up convos with the other moms while the kids play. I've "picked up" a lot of friends for both myself and the boy that way.

Good luck!
