Family Friends sponsors playgroups, social activities, and more for young families looking to connect with others in central New Jersey. It started in 1984 and remains a non-profit, non-sectarian, volunteer-run organization. Members commit to volunteering for 2 activities per year.

Playgroups are geared for babies through pre-school aged children. Parents enjoy our playgroups as much as their kids, as they can enjoy some adult conversation while the children play. We have a regular schedule of adult-only social activities as well.

From June through August, we meet at a Metuchen park on Mondays and take day trips on Wednesdays.
From September through May, our weekly parent-child playgroups are held in indoors in Metuchen. Activities at our Monday playgroup include music appreciation, crafts, parachute play, and snack time. Our Wednesday sessions are generally free play.

Please note that most of our members are not on Meetup, so the number of RSVPs doesn't reflect the number of people that attend - usually 10-15 families.

What members are saying

 It's been around since 1984 so it is very well established! 

 FF is a great network for both kids and parents. My children and I have enjoyed it for the past 4 years.

       Hi Maythem! I'm happy to see that you have joined the FF meetup group. Just so you know, the meetup site is deceiving and we are having trouble working with meetup to rectify the problem. During the summer we do NOT meet at BRATZ. I see that you planned on attending on June 30th. We will be meeting nearby at Olmezer Park at the north end of Main St. in Metuchen, still from 10-noon or thereabouts. If you have any questions, please email familyfriendsinc@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there! Kath

       Hi Suzy I'm glad you have looked into Family Friends. Just so you know, the meet-up site needs to be updated and we are in the process of doing so. FF meets outside for the months of June, July and August to help save on rent and enjoy some more excercise. Please email familyfriendsinc@yahoo.com to find out where we will be on a specific day. We move around a lot to give the kids a variety of activitites. If you contact us a day in advance, we ought to be able to get back to you before morning.

       Hi Jodie I'm so glad you are able to join us on Monday. However, we are in the process of adjusting the meet-up site. We are always outside for the months of June, July and August. On Monday we will be at Olmezer Park at the north end of Main St. in Metuchen. Email familyfriendsinc@yahoo.com if you need directions. We will be there from 10-12, although people generally come late in the summer. Hope to see you there!
