Neighborhood Play Circles
It’s not just for the kids.
(But it is also for the kids.)
What Play Circles Are
Parenting is better with people.
Peri Play Circles connect you with nearby families in the same stage of life—from pregnancy through the early years—so you don’t have to go it alone.
Each Circle is small, local, and age-based, making it easy to form real friendships and find support that actually fits your day-to-day. Think: Beltline strolls, park picnics, and backyard hangs—with grown-up conversation included.
How
Play Circles Work
Local
When you're juggling naps, bottles, and Atlanta traffic, meeting up with a friend can feel like an Olympic sport.
That’s why Play Circles are organized by neighborhood—so connections happen close to home, and sometimes, on a whim.
Consistent
Spontaneous hangs are great. But so is knowing you’ve got something on the calendar—like your Thursday morning sanity break.
Play Circles meet regularly, so you’ve always got connection, support, and coffee (probably cold, but still) on the horizon.
Age-based
Kids change so fast—like, didn't you just buy that onesie yesterday? You need to swap stories and advice with parents who are in it with you.
Each Play Circle is made up of families with kids around the same age, so the conversations (and chaos) just make sense.
Facilitated
Your brain’s already juggling nap schedules and Bluey plotlines—you don’t need one more thing on your plate.
That’s why we handle the logistics, the invites, and even the awkward first “So... how old is yours?” moments. No pressure, no prep. Just show up.
Because adult conversation and Goldfish can coexist.
Come play.
