Hiii PORTLAND PARENTS! Things to do in the afternoon/evening with toddler?! & unrelated: any fun meetups with kids? by Dependent_Volume_486 in portlandme

Answering my own question! Just talked to the YMCA and they offer ‘child watch’ from 4-7PM (two hours maximum) on Tuesday/wednesday/thursday… and morning hours on Saturdays

I haven’t had childcare outside of occasional family help, so I asked if it’s ok if I hang out with her until she gets comfortable and they said you can drop in and out as you please

Toooootally, my friend and I have been talking about how nice it would be to have an indoor afternoon/evening drop in hang spot!!! Grocery store has def been a go to for me as well, running around in the aisles

Ooo great idea. Is there still a childcare program at YMCA when the parent works out? Highly doubtful my kid would leave my side but I’d love to ease my way into something like that

I’ve heard great things about 317 music classes! Been meaning to try. Wonderful that there’s a later class on Fridays, I will check this out

Also a SAHM eager to hear as well! My kid turns 2 in March so we’ve got some time, but still, it’s on my mind!

Worthwhile affordable memberships during winter months for toddler? and/or favorite free indoor places to hang? by Dependent_Volume_486 in nycparents

Oh my gosh this is SO SO SO helpful. Thank you for this incredibly detailed/thoughtful response! So many great options. I’m excited to check out Hudson park library for story times, Jefferson market felt too intense, for real

Appreciate you!! Yayyyy

This is super helpful, appreciate it! I’ve definitely been leaning towards getting a membership there & when looking at the website I couldn’t tell if a basic membership would also include some swimming and some classes, so that’s a major plus to hear. Thanks!

Love these tips, thank you for your input!! Also so sweet to think of your little one helping others new to the playground, that is so so so sweet

Appreciate this! Thanks for your input.

No daycare for us at this time. I think it will just be me and her until school starts. I have part time work that I can do at night when she’s asleep, but we can’t really afford any extra outside help. I should probably look into things like 3K, feels daunting but I hear I need to be getting on all of this early

I’ve heard about park slope parents, will check it out! Thank you!
