How Does It Start???

Hi! I’m Ja, a working mom. The idea of having a playgroup came up one day when I was browsing for weekend classes from talent/enrichment centers after my 3 1/2 y.o daughter, Lana who had just discontinued her Art & Craft class at school. Although the class is good & she had lots of fun & improved the artsy side of her, hubby & me found out that she couldnt afford to miss her afternoon nap,still. So we decided to pull her off from the class but Alhamdulillah she managed to complete her 'Beginner' level wit a cert. Glad she's happy!

I opt for a Saturday classes for Lana since we are pretty free on Saturday mornings(her dad is occupied during that period). And as most parents know, most of the interesting classes are held during weekdays, which is impossible to us. Though I can send her a few times/week if I work remotely, but it’s too risky to commit due to work demands.

Then I thought about my dear friend, Shikin. She’s a mom of 3 and regularly sends her girls to weekend classes before she started enrolling Arisya and Ariana to school this year. Our friends and us also hangout regularly on weekdays or weekends with or without our kids. At that time I believe she will love the idea since she’s also always browsing and cracking her head to think of a way to fill up her girls’ weekends.

And I was right… one afternoon, we just couldn’t stop discussing and listing down our ideas to make the play dates happen. Alhamdulillah, we received a fairly warm support from our dear friends and family to join the fun and share a gazillion parenting tips!

We hope one day you parents out there will create your own playgroup for your kids too. Our objective of publishing this blog is sincerely to share the excitement, experience and parenting tips we dug out from each other and from our regular surf around the net. Perhaps one day we can plan a gathering among playgroups and date together!! Fun!
