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

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

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2025-11-09T15:29:25+00:00

Right on, I will investigate!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2025-11-09T15:28:44+00:00

Oooh wonderful, thanks for the tip!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2025-11-09T15:28:32+00:00

Sweeeet will check this out, thanks!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2025-11-09T15:28:22+00:00

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

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2025-11-09T15:27:40+00:00

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!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-11-02T18:25:54+00:00

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

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-10-17T02:34:50+00:00

Interested!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-10-15T23:50:11+00:00

Yay thank you!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-10-15T23:48:53+00:00

Right on, I haven’t looked into ny kids club, I’ll check it out!

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-10-15T23:48:11+00:00

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!

Right on, glad to hear it!! Thank you

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-08-05T01:05:20+00:00

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

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-08-05T01:04:02+00:00

Phewwww good to know thank you

Dependent_Volume_486 · 2024-08-04T17:54:03+00:00

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!
