The Baby Meetup empowers Bronx families to thrive by providing free, high-quality early childhood and family programming. In our community garden (and indoors during the winter), we foster connections between caregivers and children through activities, art, story time, music, movement, educational resources, and mutual aid.
What's Happening!
We’re excited to connect with families across the Bronx this April! Check out our weekly schedule to see where you can find The Baby Meetup! Whether you're looking for engaging playdates or meaningful discussions with fellow caregivers, we’ve got a space for you.
* All events are designed for caregivers and babies ages 0-5. Everything is free and no registration is required.
Our Core Values
Community
The Baby Meetup offers a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment within a gated community garden. On average we see about 15 families each week. Caregivers from across the Bronx attend meetups to laugh, network, learn, and grow while creating beautiful memories. (10450, 10451, 10455, 10456, 10459, 10460, 10461, 10467, and 10473).
Mutual Aid
Our weekly "free table" offers gently used clothes, shoes, and toys, creating a space for our community to share resources and support one another. We also exchange unused formula, baby food, diapers, baby gear, and adult clothing.
Well Being
At The Baby Meetup, children and caregivers can plant, care for, and harvest food. Babies get to enjoy immersive nature experiences, such as exploring the soil and plants. We also partner with another local community garden to offer fresh, Bronx-grown, organic produce.
Education & Resources
We connect families with valuable resources and expert guidance, including early literacy workshops and support groups led by occupational therapists, IEP app developers, natural dye instructors, music and movement specialists, indoor gardening instructors, and baby/parent meditation guides and more.
Let the Good Times Roll!
