Our Mission

We believe that, though joyful, parenting is hard work! The good news? Community, education, and mindful play can radically transform the early years of parenting. ZenHippo aims to provide expecting and new families with just that. We curate talks with local experts on critical topics and a wide variety of play-based classes for children ages 0-3 that nurture relationships within and among families, while improving early childhood outcomes. We operate at Pan’s Garden, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, The Square, Hive, White Trail and, for private groups, in the convenience of your home. 

Our programming is designed to enhance the social, emotional and physical well-being of your family as you navigate this transformational period of life. Our collective includes an Early Childhood Educator, Social Worker, Music Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Chiropractor, Dietician, Speech and Language Therapist, Music Teacher, Chef, and Certified Educator of Infant Massage. We also partner with sleep consultants, doulas, midwives, related service providers and other pediatric specialists for monthly talks. Together, we provide a variety of engaging programs that inspire creativity, promote development, and give you the tools to meet the unique needs of this life phase.
