Well, yeah. Not for the profit of other parents, mind you--that'd be gauche. the money's just to cover the fees of whatever venue the play date's to be held at.

That is, unless you're arranging play dates at free / public venues... like some kind of common poor.

What happened to a kid just going to a friend's house and playing with them there?

Maybe I'm old now, but the whole concept of "play dates" rubs me the wrong way...

Where I live playdates happen at homes and if you are taking the kids out somewhere generally the parent taking them out pays.
