You may have heard that it takes a village to raise a child, but there are oh-so-many more perks to having a community you can count on. Mom groups are the ultimate resources when it comes to building a mom social calendar, finding like-minded souls who can answer your questions, meeting new people, and expanding your interests. Once you’ve hit upon the right mom group, it opens up all kinds of opportunities–from exercise goals and playgroups to getting home-cooked meals when you’ve got a new baby in the house.
Lucky for us, there are tons of mom groups in the Bay Area. Read on to discover groups based on region and then let us know who else we should add to our list.
