6. What is a playgroup? |
|
|
|
A playgroup is a sub-community of members who have children within the same age range. Each playgroup is a bit different but the intention is to allow moms to get together with their children of similar ages. Together they can share stories, ideas, advice and companionship while their little ones play together. Depending on the age group, playgroups meet at member's houses, parks, the mall, coffee shops and whatever creative idea the playgroup coordinator may decide. |
|
|
7. How do I join a playgroup? |
|
|
|
Once your a member, you can find information related to playgroups in the monthly newsletter and in the "Member Services" area of the web site. Each playgroup is listed along with the age group and times they meet. |
|
|
8. What if I don't see a playgroup that fits my needs? |
|
|
|
Create one! That's how all playgroups were started. An inspiring mom contacted the main FCMC playgroup coordinator who is a board member to get necessary information. Then once the details were discussed, a playgroup was started and the new playgroup was listed in the newsletter and web site. |
|
|
9. How can I advertise my services to the members of FCMC? |
|
|
|
We provide several options for advertisers via our newsletter. See the "Advertise" section of the site for more information on rates (linked from the home page). Fees collected from advertising provide additional funding for club events and activities. |
|
|
10. What if I have an idea or suggestion for improvement? |
|
|
|
We very much welcome ALL suggestions and ideas from our members. At each General Meeting there is a suggestion box where you can anonymously provide feedback or simply send an email to "info@fostercitymothersclub.org". |
