• May I bring my infant’s older sibling(s) to an Infants Playgroup?

  May I bring my infant’s older sibling(s) to an Infants Playgroup?

  This varies from hostess to hostess, so please check her before you bring an infant's sibling. 

  First-time mums are not necessarily excited about germ-factory toddlers, so please be respectful of their wishes if they want to limit the playgroup to infants.

• Am I required to attend the event with a friend who want to join?

  Am I required to attend the event with a friend who want to join?

  You do not need to attend the event with your friend, but if she is shy or apprehensive we hope you will ask her to join you at an event. Please be sure that the hostess has space for her, though. Though you need not attend the event with her, but please do RSVP for her on our private website if the event specifically requests or requires RSVPs.

  Once she has attended an event, please direct her to this website to join.

• We will visit Qatar to find housing before we move - may I join at that time?

  We will visit Qatar to find housing before we move - may I join at that time?

  Absolutely - as a matter of fact, we highly recommend it! 

  You’ll find a gold mine of information amongst our members, and you'll find our members-only forum to be a much more secure and controlled environment than the Doha-related Facebook groups and public forums.
  

  We also recommend that you visit our sister site, Doha Family, for loads of information on life in Doha.

• Is the Deals Card transferrable to someone else if I leave Qatar?

  Is the Deals Card transferrable to someone else if I leave Qatar?

  The card has your photo imprinted on it, so it is not transferable. The "unused time" cannot be transferred to another member's card.

• I’d like to host a playgroup, but my house is too small. Are there any options for me?

  I’d like to host a playgroup, but my house is too small. Are there any options for me?

  Absolutely! 

  You can host a playgroup for a specific age-range (e.g. non-mobile babies, one-year olds, young toddlers, etc.), and you may also limit the number of attendees by using the RSVP feature on our members-only website.  We only ask that you save space for at least three prospective members. 
  
  You may also co-host with a member who has a larger home - you bring the snacks, they supply the space, and you both clean up. 
  
  Another option is to “host” a playgroup in a park or in Ray’s Reef, which involves little more than sending out the announcement and reminding parents to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, etc.
