A parent-to-parent email network for families in Alameda, California.

A place to find local recommendations, post child-care needs, and access additional resources within the City of Alameda. With over 200 members to date, we are excited to be generating this dynamic one-stop information source for the Alameda community. Let’s try and “Keep it on the Island."

The aim is to create a space where all families are welcome to participate. All viewpoints are encouraged. But please share your wisdom not your parental superiority.

Please be polite both publicly and privately.

Keep personal information off this site. (e.g. your phone # or your children’s names, DOB, your vacation plans) Protect your own privacy. We do not allow photos to be uploaded onto APN.

Please respond via email directly to the sender unless the information would be helpful to the whole group.
Example:
1) Looking for resources for babysitting-please post your recommendations.
2) Looking for babysitting tomorrow-please respond via email directly to the sender. If you feel that the information you received would be helpful to the group, please post a summary--we would like to read about it.

When posting, please follow good netiquette practices. If you are responding to the post, please DO NOT start a new thread (maintain the original subject line). If you are writing about a completely new topic, please do not hijack an old thread.

Please check the Files for our guidelines about posting advertisements or selling items on APN.

New members will be moderated for a period of time.

Thank You,
Moderators
