The main purpose of Las Madres is to provide a network of neighborhood playgroups across the Santa Clara County for those with children born in the same year.Our mission is to: Provide neighborhood and community-wide parental forums for educational assistance and exchanging of ideas and information between and among parents.We do this by encouraging participation in activities/events including the following: - educational activities to promote early childhood mental, physical and social development on a weekly basis - advance family and parent education on a monthly basis - provide a place to share parenting information - provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas and information - organize or sponsor public interest programs of interest to parents and children - organize and support activities that develop confidence and self-esteem and positive parent-child relationshipsThrough Las Madres playgroups, members find friendship, support and helpful information as well as an opportunity for their children to make friends their own age. Las Madres Neighborhood Playgroups is a California Non-profit Public Benefit Corporation and is run entirely by volunteers who are mothers, fathers and/or caretakers of young children.
