Hi A.,
You can try Baby Hui, which sets up local groups of Mom's with kids of similar age groups (babyhui.org) or Windward Families for REAL: ###-###-####, which runs a free weekly parenting class that has daycare/crafts etc available. There is also something called MOMS Club, which I have no experience with but might be worth trying, their web address is home.oceanic.com/mclub.
I get the impression that you might be a military family, from a previous response. If you are, then I am assuming you would be nearest to MCBH K BAY. You should check out the Armed Services YMCA over by the hourly CDC. They sponsor play mornings and some other activities. Also the Base library has a Thursday story hour, but I think that during the summer it is a more general summer reading program. I also seem to remember that both the Kailua and Kaneohe public libraries have story hours too, but I have never tried them. Also the Dance,Movement Academy has Mom & Me tumbling classes that you could probably do while carrying the 2 month old.
I also have a two year old, who I stay at home with. But she is in daycare M,W,F....so I don't do a lot of these activiites. Recently I decided that I needed to try and find something besides gymnastics, since my little one hasn't taken such a liking to it. I am also on MCBH, so please feel free to contact me if you like. I'd definitely be up for a play date or two!
Hi! The YMCA does free military play groups throughout miltary housing. They have one Monday through Friday in the mornings. If you go to your community center they will have the dates for you. It is nice and it is also a great way to meet moms in your area. Good Luck.
All the bases tend to have something. You can call the base operators and ask for Family Services and get information. When I first got to the island, I did that. For example, I think Hickam has something on Wed mornings. You can also check with the churches. I know there's a community church or something in Kailua that has a Mom's Group. Sorry, I know I'm not providing specifics, but there's lots out there!
