Parent + Baby Meet Up for parents in out of the "norm"

We meet every Thursday starting August 15th from 9-11am.

IG: @theclearcorner

Led by The Clear Corner Collective, a community of parents of all kinds and their babies aged 0-3, this weekly group makes sure parents outside the "norm" are equally included, highlighted and supported. All parents are welcome and those who are non bio, adoptive, gender queer, who used fertility treatments or donors and even nannies, grandmas, and dads should not hesitate to join! Families are created in so many ways and we don't shy away from those conversations!

Bike Path- Pedestrian friendly walkway for easy access to the front of Happier Cafe LA by TADAA.coffee. Just be mindful of the bikes flying by, keep center roadway totally clear.

Parking:

Free street parking behind Marsh Park. The closest streets are Marsh, Gleneden and Rosanna. Nearest intersection is Ripple Place and Rosanna St, one long city block away.

For wheelchair accessible routes, please use Google Maps App, set the starting point to 'your location' once parked/dropped off and enter "Happier Cafe" for 'choose destination'. Press the three dots at the top and the click 'options'. Toggle the 'wheelchair accessible' tab to "ON". This should help give the most clear passageway to the spot.

**Also Highly Recommended to use Google Maps 'Walk' setting for easy guidance to the spot if mobility isnt an factor. Still super helpful**

What to Bring (everything optional):

-For warm weather, we suggest sunscreen, hats, extra water and snacks

-Any hand me downs you wish to share

-$ for coffee and treats

Group Guidelines:

-Respect& consent are #1. We share stories but avoid unsolicted advice or put downs. No hate or discrimination.

-Parents model healthy interactions including helping little ones keep hands, mouths and feet to themselves and speak kindly.

-Parents are hands-on and engaged. Never leaving their baby unattended or attended by another parent without explicit communication.

-Ask permission to share foods between babies or to touch another child even to help.

-Please, no dogs or children over the age of three years old.

-No promotions unless approved by group leaders in advance. We would love to collaborate with you and give you time to spotlight your business.

If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you! See you there!
