Gymboree and Little Gym or community center has the mommy and me classes. It is music or gymastics or something for the child and mom to be apart of in a 45 min class. I would check out those three places to get hooked up in one in your area. There is also mom groups. You can serch MOPS or National Moms Club or Meet up.com and try to connect with a group that will lead you to classes, playgroups, or events for moms. Stroller Stride is another group that has moms with kids........ Good luck. I LOVE SAN DIEGO.... we just came back from there. So fun and beautiful there.

We found a Meet Up (meetup.com) group for children in our area my daughter's age. It's been fantastic. Look for one with a high membership because if it's just one person doing all the organizing, it's likely to burn out.

Las Madres saved my sanity when I had 2 babies. They will tell you about great playgroups in your part of town, with lots of activities at parks, beaches etc. playgroups in San Diego County look no further you have found the BEST organization. Contact Pam at ###-###-#### or email ____@____.com

Also, the YMCA offered wonderful mommy&me gym classes when my kids were under 3. Don't know how old your baby is, but Creative Dance Theatre near Balboa/Morena has incredible mommy&me classes for very little kdis (2-3 years) -- we started there, and my daughter still dances at CDT at 16!

Check out your local Mom's Club chapter. You can usually go online and input your zipcode. Then you'll be sent the email address of someone to contact. I really enjoyed being part of the Mom's Club when my son was young.

Some other things to try:

Your city or county recreation centers (or parks and recreation department) surely has "classes" for babies and toddlers; these are usually parent-and-child things where kids get to move around and adults participate. Great stimulation. These classes often have names like "Wiggles and Giggles" etc. Seek them out. Infant swimming lessons are usually available too, where you get in the pool with baby and get her used to water etc.

Depending on your baby's age, try a music class. I strongly recommend Music Together, which is national. They take infants up to about five years old and it is a blast for parent and child!! Kindermusik is a similar program but I don't have personal experience of it.

Check with your local churches etc. for moms' groups and play groups. These are not necessarily "run" by the churches and do not necessarily have any religious content; often churches (like mine) have a lot of space that they rent out during weekdays to groups.

Check with your local large health care system. Go online and see if it has a branch that organizes moms' groups (many of these may be discussion groups where moms bring their babies). Our large health care system here also sponsors mom-and-baby yoga classes, with babies on blankets on the floor being rolled and touched and lifted by moms -- everyone has fun!
