I'm not a children's writer, but it is a great direction to go in.  It is one area of writing where a thirsty audience waits. My guess is, if no one here steps forward (it's been very quiet on this forum for a long time)  that the people who are part of your writing course would probably give you the best leads (especially the teacher of the course) about connecting with like minded people.

Also check out writer's magazines. "The Writer" has an article this month called "The ABC's of Writing for Childen" which may be of interest to you.  The Writer's Digest is another one to check out. An organization like the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (http://www.scbwi.org/) might also have some assistance for you (I'm not particularly recommmending it because I don't have a clue about children's writing...it's just an example of  group I found on a quick search of resources).

Good luck and do let us know what you discover.
