Welcome, South OC Attachment Parenting Families!

If you are looking for other Attachment Parenting families in South Orange County, look no further. Whether supporters of breastfeeding and child-led weaning, cloth diapering, baby wearing, or co-sleeping, homeschooling and/ holistic forms of education, and continually enriching the all important bond between parent and child, all are welcome here.

Our group, founded by Tonya Lafonatine in 2008, now includes 100 plus families and is growing. We have created a special community spirit amongst us as we have shared each other’s company during the past year. We meet primarily in South OC cities (Aliso/Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel/Hills) and nearby beaches. Our regular events including nature walks and meeting at local playgrounds. We also have an online AP book club, beach dates, picnics, a Waldorf playgroup that meets weekly, and other special events. Suggestions and offers to host playdates at homes are always welcome. See our calendar for more details and locations.

We would appreciate a $5 contribution per year to assist with the cost of our Meetup website. The small investment is well worth the friendship and fun your family will have with our group. Please speak with one of our organizers if you have any questions.

We look forward to meeting you at our events, and together creating a vibrant Attachment Parenting community in South Orange County.
