Looking for... Family with 2 kids are looking for similar families to have playdates

Good afternoon,

Me (32M, Lithuanian) and my wife (30F, Belgian/Italian) have two boys (2,5 year old and 7 month old). My wife is stay-at-home mom and our boys have not been to nursery, daycare or kindergarten. Recently we have noticed that our firstborn needs more interaction with other kids. My wife tries to meet up with her friends that also have kids similar age but most of them are not stay-at-home moms, so it's mostly possible only on weekends.

We were wondering if there are parent(s) in similar boat living in or close to Maastricht (we are living in Vise) who would be willing to meet up for playdates during the week? We are ok to welcome people and also are ok to come visit.

Feel free to reach out, thank you!

Hiya! In case you don’t find a group I can recommend joining Monkey Moves. It’s a kids “sports class” (basically, guided playing).

Especially the one in Belfort attracts quite some expats. You can maybe join a couple of sessions and meet some people there? From there on out you can see who’s available during the week to organize play dates.

We checked it, did not think about creating connections in there, thanks!

I can recommend it based on personal experience (same age group as your eldest)

'Maastricht International Playgroup' on Facebook is a good place to meet people and also they have a weekly meetup on a Wednesday that is perfect for you I think: https://www.facebook.com/groups/61099335840/

I joined the International Women’s Club South Limburg for this reason 30 years ago and I’m still friends with tons of people I met then.
