I'm asking because the obvious one for me is to go the public swimming pool where water seems to open up kids to being social and its just so organic how kids interact with each other-- it's not like on land and those kinds of connections once formed can transfer on land " )

I set up playdates that benefit the parents --meaning they get the break and I take their kid to join my kid on outings to the beach, the museums/botanical gardens and so forth.

How old is she?
