What Play Circles Are
Peri Play Circles are small, local, age-based groups where new parents can laugh about blow-outs, swap sleep tips, and celebrate every tiny victory.
Each Circle is designed to make real friendships easy, support accessible, and daily life feel just a little lighter.
Think: weekly meetups in cozy spaces, spontaneous Beltline strolls, park picnics, and text threads where your 3 a.m. “is this normal?” question always gets an answer.
How Play Circles Work
Local
Organized by neighborhood so you can connect without fighting traffic—or nap schedules.
Consistent
Meet regularly, with room for spontaneity, so connection is always on the horizon.
Age-based
Share advice and celebrate milestones with families navigating the same stage.
Facilitated
We handle the logistics, invites, and ice-breakers. No pressure, no prep. Just show up.
Come play.
Parenthood is lighter when we do it together.
