HelloBaby

HelloBaby HelloBaby is a drop in play space for children between birth to 3 years old and their caregivers. HelloBaby was founded to help close that gap.

We know there is a profound lack of affordable services supporting young families in many Chicago neighborhoods. Our facility is state of the art, developmentally appropriate, environmentally responsible, safe, clean, and loaded with opportunities for movement, creativity, socializing, exploring and fun. We do this because we know the the best way for children to learn is through imagination and p

lay. When they play children develop motor, social, language and math skills. We believe in doing our part, and we are on a mission to build healthier, safer families. In partnership with our neighbors, we are committed to making real change possible.

We know we're a little late to the game but what can we say? we've been busy! But we couldn’t let this trend pass without introducing some of the people who keep HelloBaby running. Here are some of our people as the little people who would have come to HelloBaby if it had been around.

It’s officially Fairy Garden season at HelloBaby! ✨🌿

We’re putting the finishing touches on our tiny creations and getting ready for our big launch party on June 13!

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome the White Sox players’ wives and girlfriends for a special evening of fairy house painting. It was such a fun opportunity to share more about HelloBaby’s mission while getting their creative help bringing this year’s fairy garden to life. We can’t wait to share it with you all!

Our theme this year is Baseball!

What a night. 💛✨

HelloSpring was everything we hoped for and more! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised over $60,000 to support HelloBaby’s free play, enrichment, and connection for Chicago families.

More than the dollars raised, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what makes this community so special—seeing longtime supporters, meeting new friends, sharing our mission, and celebrating the joy and possibility that every child deserves.

To everyone who attended, donated, bid, volunteered, sponsored, and helped bring this colorful night to life: thank you. Your support helps us continue creating spaces where little brains can grow, caregivers can connect, and play can thrive.

We’re still smiling (and maybe still recovering 😅). Thank you for making HelloSpring so special. 🌈

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmas, aunties, bonus moms, and caregivers who make the world brighter every single day 💐

Thank you for the love, strength, patience, snacks, rides, hugs, late nights, early mornings, and magic you pour into your families and communities. Today we celebrate YOU.

Wishing all the amazing moms a day filled with love, rest, joy, and maybe even a little quiet 🤍
