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 play. 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.
