From me:
I have been a member of the Parent Connection since before my daughter was born. They offer lots of classes and events, but my favorite-- coordinated playgroups organized by age, location, and meeting times. LOVE LOVE LOVE this organization--- great for moms and dads (and kiddies too)!

From their site:
The Parent Connection (formerly Las Madres) is a non-profit parenting support network of more than 3,500 San Diego families. Our diverse membership includes parents in their 20s, 30s and 40s, both married and single. Since 1980, Scripps and The Parent Connection have brought together San Diego families for fun, education and support. Our volunteer board of directors donate their time and effort to help provide the best possible programs to meet parents' needs. All members are encouraged to volunteer, whether it be for a board position, committee position or an occassional hour at an event.
Learning from each other as parents and helping each other as friends, Parent Connection members share experiences and information, enjoy social activities and build lasting relationships. Our membership encompasses both first-time and seasoned parents. All San Diego County families are invited to join as we help you face the wonderful challenges of parenting. read more
