We just switched preschools to a parent co-op, so I'm getting to know the parents there much better than at a "regular" preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625708 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:52:25 +0000 Kemma 2625708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm FB and play date friends with 4-5 mums from the first preschool my big girl attended and we also see those families at the music class we go to so have kept in touch on a casual basis. My daughter has made a new best friend at our new preschool and I'm FB friends with her Mum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625687 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:39:39 +0000 catlady 2625687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. There were a few who I really liked who have since moved away. There are a couple more who really seem to like me (even though personally, I feel like who don't quite "click" right) so they have invited us to playdates and parties and we walk home together occasionally as well. I don't know if I'd consider them friends but we definitely hang out sometimes, so I guess so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625668 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:27:52 +0000 sapphire 2625668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm friends with one. We kept running into each other and then she friended me on Facebook and arranged a casual meet up. Our daycare also hosts quarterly events so we've gotten to know some other families, but the one I mentioned above is the only one we hang out with outside of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625591 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:26:59 +0000 Periwinkle 2625591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our last school, yes. It was a very small school and I did most drop offs and pick ups based on the location. </p> <p>Our new school is part of my husband's company and it's been harder to meet other parents. Also, my husband does the bulk of the drop offs and pickups now so it's harder for me to even recognize the parents. I would love to get to know some of the other parents, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625569 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:14:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 2625569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I set up playdates with other parents at LO's school because she only goes 2 days per week and I thought it would help her make friends. I wouldn't say I am friends-friends with the moms yet but we text about school/kid related things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625439 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:44:00 +0000 KayKay 2625439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've moved/switched schools the last 3 years, so no. But at each one, there were 1-2 people who probably would've become good friends had we not! We should be settled into this preschool for awhile (DD1 will go to K next year, but DD2 will be at this preschool for 4 years total because of her fall birthday and LO3 will too!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625431 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:37:34 +0000 psw27 2625431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are trying a bit! It's funny that when we left our old daycare, we actually started being more social with the other families! Our new daycare is much more family/community oriented so I think eventually we will make friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625421 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:28:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2625421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I recognize the parents and who their kid(s) are. I say hello and we all go on our way. I rarely see a parent during drop off since I go so early, but in the afternoon, it literally is just to pick up their kid and leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625418 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:25:11 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2625418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never see other parents! Drop off and pick up are so quick and usually I don't overlap with any other parents. </p> <p>I was actually thinking of sending a note in for one of her classmate's folders like "Hi, my kid talks about your kid all the time, do you want to go to the park?" but it makes me feel like an awkward high schooler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625407 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:19:15 +0000 chopstixwife 2625407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes from 1st son's preschool days. Even though we live within a few blocks of each other, we don't see each other often but we do get together every couple of months and have mommy's night out at restaurant/bar and the usual birthdays or kid friendly events happening in town. We're all also friends on facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625387 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 12:04:36 +0000 sunny 2625387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we've made friends with someone in my daughter's class. We've had a few playdates together. </p> <p>The parents of my son's classmates are not friendly at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625350 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 11:17:40 +0000 lamariniere 2625350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One from daycare and a few that I'm friendly with. At school it's a lot more chaotic and we are always rushing to get home or go pick up the little one. I think I need to sign up for the PTA or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625317 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:16:58 +0000 babypugs 2625317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We all sort of run in and out for drop off as fast as possible---I have no idea how other people make connections with daycare moms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625314 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:13:14 +0000 autumnleaves 2625314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. I am hoping it will happen as LO gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625304 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:59:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2625304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope; esp since I don't even drop off or pick up. I'm just really learning who the kids are, a year in :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625289 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:49:25 +0000 nana87 2625289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of--we're friendly during drop off/pick up and school events, and have socialized at birthday parties, and there's one I've had a couple play dates with. One mentioned going apple-picking soon with the kiddos, but it hasn't happened yet. But I haven't socialized with them outside of that (yet?). I'm joining a parent-staff committee though so maybe that will lead to more friends too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625287 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:47:38 +0000 fancyfunction 2625287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've met a few moms at school and we've done some play dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625286 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:45:06 +0000 Miss Ariel 2625286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really. Although coincidentally met the mother of a girl in my daughters class when we were both taking out diabetes tests for our current pregnancies. So our daughters are a few months apart and our 2nd babies will be a few weeks apart. I haven't seen her since then, although sometimes see her husband at drop off. She seemed nice though so maybe something will develop as our kids get older? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625285 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:42:05 +0000 lawbee11 2625285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but she just started at this school a month ago. There's one mom I see often at pickup and I want to introduce myself but I just feel so awkward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625283 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:40:32 +0000 travellingbee 2625283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not close friends but we get the kids together now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625279 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:38:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2625279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few.<br /> One lives just around the corner, our daughters are bffs, she's also a designer, her husband had a stuffy job like mine (lawyer hers, finance mine), and recently had a whoopsie third.<br /> I'm friendly with a couple others and we've had some outside playdates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625277 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:38:29 +0000 ShootingStar 2625277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, I don't really get much opportunity to see the other parents, much less make friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625273 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:33:37 +0000 looch 2625273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I average one new friend per school it seems. I have a friend I made from my son's preschool and now one from my son's elementary school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625271 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:31:04 +0000 Smurfette 2625271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. One from her old place. We still text regularly and have gotten together with the kids numerous time. Last December we had a craft night and made tags for Christmas gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-made-friends-with-any-daycare-moms#post-2625258 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:19:15 +0000 mediagirl 2625258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious. I know it really depends on the center, the parents and the overall vibe. I haven't really made any mom friends at my daughter's school. The other moms and I are just in different circles and have 0 in common with one another other than being moms. </p> <p>Have you become friends with any daycare moms? </p>
