Why Join The PAK Network?

We offer something that no one else does.

Most traditional meetups focus exclusively on the transition into motherhood. Once the children reach school age or the moms head back to work, those groups often dissolve. The PAK is designed to evolve, maintaining those social threads as kids transition from toddlers to teens, ensuring you don’t have to start over with a new social circle every few years. We invite you to join for yourself, for your kids and to start making your community feel more like home.

Is The PAK Network just for moms?

The PAK is for all Parents And Kids

Typical meetups often center solely on the mother’s experience. The PAK emphasizes an inclusive atmosphere for moms, dads, grandparents, au pairs and nannies. For working moms, stay-at-home moms and for all the moms in between. By focusing on the family unit, we create opportunities for all caregivers to engage and for children to build multi-year friendships with the same peer group, creating a sense of "village" stability that we all need.

Why Local Zip Codes?

Members must live in zip codes 22314, 22303, 22306, 22307, 22308, 22309 or 22060.

We do this so you can connect with and belong to your authentic, local community. These are the parents you'll see at the playground, at the grocery store and at school pick up. These are the kids you'll see at art class, at a birthday party and at school open house. And when you show up and start meeting each other, you start finding your place, finding your people. They're the people you and your kids will grow up with and that can support you over the years.

Why Pay?

It takes time and money to make these events happen.

We have to make purchases in order to make your experience fun and fulfilling. Those "behind-the-scenes" items like payment processors, websites, and mobile apps don't come for free. We also have to spend time researching, planning, coordinating, purchasing, assembling, setting up, taking down, cleaning...you get the idea. And we're really good at what we do and hope you think so, too.
