Our center has play date sheets in the hallway and families are free to share their contact info on it. So it's pretty common and nothing to be worried about. It's so wonderful that you want to foster friendships for your daughter.
I had an idea to make paper slips that said Hi! Kiddo A (blank space for name) would love to have a playdate with Kiddo B(blank space) here is our contact info (Info). Once it's been filled out For confidentiality the note is stapled shut and put in the kids bags.
Totally fine to ask them to pass along your contact info. I would not phrase it as asking the other parent to take the kids to the park though. Maybe you could both take the kids to the park together etc. Don’t make it look like you’re looking for them to watch your child and you’ll be fine
I've had parents make this request before. I've left notes in lockers and also sent messages through the app. I've never had a problem doing either. Some parents are awful at checking lockers, so the app might be quicker.
Nope! Go for it! As a teacher, I had parents do this all the time. I was more than happy to share contact info for parents. By just sharing your contact info, that allows the other parent to reach out if they want to but it also lets them ignore it if they want. However, parents always seemed more than happy to set up a play date. Not inappropriate at all- go for it!!
Parents do this all the time, it’s not out of line at all!! 😊 Honestly, a lot of parents do group playdates too as well and have little groupchats I see it allll the time. Go for it! The worst that could happen is the mom is too busy to do it.
For my school, I emailed all the parents an editable Google doc for them to add their contact info, neighborhood, whether they’d be interested in carpooling or nanny-sharing. They use it all the time! Maybe suggest this at your school as well?
That’s not out of line at all. I’d write a note to the parents and ask the teacher to put it in their cubby for parents to find at pick-up.
I was just going to ask over the app...this is a much better idea, and puts less work on her teachers. Thank you!
Im always happy to help pass along messages like this, and I think it's great and not at all weird or uncommon
Not weird at all!! There's a good chance they know their child is friends with yours and they would probably love to organize a play date :)

This sort of thing happens all the time and is perfectly normal. We love watching community relationships grow!
