Education, connection, and mindful play from birth to four.

Since launching in 2022, we’ve brought over two thousand families together in green spaces around Palm Beach County to connect, learn and play. Our unique programs, all taught by early childhood experts, are designed to equip you with the support and skills critical to this phase of life while improving early childhood outcomes.

This September we opened our first brick and mortar at 485 Seventh Street in West Palm Beach! There, we have a storefront filled with our favorite toys, books and care products and a spacious classroom with programs Monday through Saturday!

Upcoming Classes

  • Sport Starts

    March 19th 9:30 AM

    Ready, set, go! In this playful introduction to sports, little athletes will build motor skills, coordination, and social skills while kicking soccer balls, navigating obstacle courses and more. With guidance from a supportive coach, we’ll also encourage teamwork and sportsmanship through fun songs and cheers.

  • Canta Conmigo

    March 19th 11:00 AM

    In this bilingual class, babies and toddlers will experience the joy of music while learning basic Spanish and English vocabulary. With singalongs, movement, instruments and interactive activities, we make language learning fun and memorable. Prior knowledge of Spanish is not required!

  • Hola Amigos

    March 20th 9:30 AM

    ¡Uno, dos, tres… vamos a jugar! Early childhood is an ideal time for language development. In this Spanish class, children will explore the language through music, books, movement, and hands-on activities like dough and puppets. Our bilingual teacher keeps learning playful and engaging while introducing Spanish or strengthening skills used at home.

  • Spring Slime

    March 20th 11:00 AM


    Flower, leaves, and slime—oh my! Children will explore colors, glittery sparkles, and fun textures as they mix and create their very own slime. This sensory-rich class fosters fine motor skills, language development, and imaginative play, while giving families a joyful time to connect.

  • Pretend Play

    March 26th 9:00 AM

    Step into a world of pretend! With creative setups to spark imaginative play, children will take on roles, build social skills, explore feelings, and expand vocabulary. Songs and stories will deepen the fun and learning.

  • Off The Page x Anna Bakes

    March 26th 11:00 AM

    Calling all bookworms and bakers! Join us as we bring this fun-filled book to life with play. We’ll begin with open-ended exploration of materials inspired by Pinkalicious. Together, we’ll then read, sing, dance and, of course, decorate cupcakes. Dress for a mess!

What people are saying…

  • "The sense of community among the teachers and children in the class was incredible. We are new to the area and, since joining ZenHippo, have connected with other families that we now call friends."

    Parent of 6 month old

  • "ZenHippo is so unique and special. Initially, we had nothing to compare it to, but after being away this summer and attending other classes, it made me appreciate just how exceptional it is. The classes, environments, tools and teachers are all so thoughtful and creative."

    Parent of 1.5 year old

  • "The most valuable thing for us is having a structured learn/play environment around other children, since our son is not in school yet. Having a social space for him to play in a beautiful location was wonderful!"

    Parent of 3 year old

  • “Classes are small and intimate, so we got to know our classmates and my curious baby received lots of attention.”

    Parent of 2.5 year old
