The Peninsula Birth Network (PBN) is simply a website devoted to offering families access to their options for care during their pregnancies and into parenting. Our desire was to create a one-stop-shop for families as they researched where they might give birth and providers to assist them. We deal primarily with pregnancy, birth and postpartum, however you will find that the resources listed here will be beneficial to you as you move into parenting and beyond. This site does not encompass all of the providers who service Kitsap but we hope it will give you a solid start in your search. Email: [email protected]

MOMS Club of Poulsbo
The MOMS Club of Poulsbo accepts members from the Poulsbo/Kingston/Bainbridge Island areas (North Kitsap). We have close to 60 members with children ranging in age from newborn to teenage with a few moms expecting their second, third or fourth child. We are a member-driven group so our calendar changes each month, with the exception of the monthly social. Activities may include park play days, playgroups at members' homes, age-based playgroups, lunch groups, a breakfast bunch, field trips or craft days, to name a few. The monthly social involves a speaker or discussion topic. We also have a monthly MOMS' Night Out (MNO), such as a spa night or wine tasting. Besides MNO, activities take place during the day when the stay-at-home mom needs the most support. There are also occasional Family Night/Weekend Days Out and Couples' Nights Out. Kids are welcome at all daytime events, as having children around is as natural as - well, it's completely natural! Dues are only $20 a year and can be reduced or waived if there are financial constraints. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in finding out more!
MOMS Club is a national non-profit organization with hundreds of chapters across the country. We are just for you – the at-home mother of today, including those who have home-based businesses and those who work part-time, but are home with their children during the day! For more information on International MOMS Club go to http://momsclub.org. The Port Orchard chapter has monthly socials with special speakers, calendar planning and discussions. Our activities include playgroups, park play days, family get-togethers, field trips, a monthly MOMS Night Out or Afternoon Away, and so much more! We also host Toddler Time, an indoor open play for infant to 4 year olds. In addition, we host Port Orchard's beloved Daddy Daughter Dance. With the funds generated from this event, our club is able to donate to various charities and participate in several community service projects through out the year. Best of all, our activites are during the day, when at-home mothers need the most support! For information on joining our chapter: 360-908-MOMS or [email protected].
Island Moms of Bainbridge Island
Islandmoms is a diverse online group based on community and respect. Bainbridge Island community members participate in our group to exchange information and discuss issues of importance to families. We share news, inform each other of upcoming events, organize play dates, pool resources, offer assistance, and form friendships. Our members compose their posts with respect for others and respect for our group guidelines. We all take responsibility for making this online manifestation of our island a welcoming and inclusive community. Please read the following before deciding to join our group. Our primary purpose is to connect our community via our main Islandmoms forum, but we also provide two promotional forums for member use. **Only one promotional thread is allowed per month, and advertising or promotion is never allowed on the main Islandmoms forum.** Please read our guidelines on promotion, and respect them. By doing so, you can get the word out about your business, class, or event, and members can get this information without feeling spammed.
Bethany Lutheran Parent Outreach
Bethany Lutheran offers two opportunities specifically designed for parents together with their birth to three year olds and 2-5 year olds. The first is held on Sunday mornings when we have a great little class from 9:45-10:45 where we play, have a Bible story, sing, do a craft and have a snack. The neat piece is that parents are encouraged to stay with their child allowing parents with children the same ages and similar interests an opportunity to connect and form lifelong friendships with others who are in the same phase of life. There is no cost for this program.
The second is Power-Hour, Part preschool and part parenting workshop, we believe that parents are truly children's first and most influential teachers. Our classes are for 2-5 years olds together with their caregivers! We meet once a week for an hour that is jam packed with music, finger plays, Bible stories, crafts, literacy, math, large and small motor skills, science, social studies and books led by three passionate, trained and experienced teachers. The mornings are fun for children and fabulous for parents because we supply lots of ideas for helping your kids to blossom at home too! We also offer an optional Power for Parenting Bible Study from 10:00-10:30 while children have important free play time with their friends and Power-Hour teachers. $25 for 8 weeks! Siblings that are 2-5 years pay a reduced rate of $20. Infant siblings are welcome at no charge. Bethany Lutheran Church, School and Early Learning Center 151 Tremont W Port Orchard, WA 98366. Phone: (360) 876-1300. Questions? Contact Melissa Pittenger at [email protected]
