Summer Fun With Your Baby

You’ve had a baby…how exciting! But whether you have a newborn or they are about to celebrate their first birthday, they are a first child or a “repeat performance”, chances are that you’ve been a bit housebound for the past several months.

It’s time for both of you to get out, make new friends, and find a community of families who are at the same point in their child’s developmental journey.

And, while babies don’t “play” with each other, there’s something about watching your little one recognize and connect with another one that just makes you feel all warm and gooey inside!

At Gymboree Play & Music, we give you and your child ample opportunities to connect with other children, adults and families in a warm, inviting space.

We don’t just offer classes. We build communities. Find a Gymboree Play & Music location near you and join our community today!

Building Community Through Play & Learning

We’ve all been there…you walk into a new situation where you don’t know anyone. You don’t know what you’re supposed to do, where you’re supposed to go. It can be downright stressful!

At Gymboree Play & Music, our teachers are trained to remove that “new kid” stress. They not only facilitate the activities in your child’s class, but they talk you through the “in’s and out’s” of our locations. They help ease any nervousness you or your little one may be feeling, and connect you with other adults who can help guide you through the class experience.

Our programs are all about supporting your child’s development, but the adults are equally important to us! Your involvement in, and enjoyment of, our programs is a vital component in your child’s growth and success.

Not only do children in our programs make “first friends”, but thousands of families have made friends for life with people they met in our classes. Find a Gymboree Play & Music location near you, and join our community today!

Build Sweet Memories

Let’s face it: raising a young child can be overwhelming and exhausting at times. Maybe even a bit lonely. But, as the saying goes “the days are long, but the years are short”.

That’s why it’s so important to carve out time each week to share special times together, and create memories that you can look back on with a smile when they are older.

At Gymboree Play & Music, we can help!

We offer a bright, colorful space where you can unplug, laugh and sing with your little one, with a variety of fun classes that support their physical, cognitive and social-emotional development. You’ll both be having so much fun together, you’ll be amazed at how much they are learning.

Join our community and build sweet memories together!

Be a Part of Our Community as We Celebrate the Season

There’s something magical about experiencing the wonder of the holiday season through the eyes of a small child.

Festive decorations, twinkling lights, cheery music and celebrations with friends and family all add to the joy and fun. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or another seasonal holiday, there can be added stress, as you travel from location to location and try not to mess with your little one’s schedule too much.

Our Gymboree Play & Music locations are also celebrating the season, and embracing the community of families that visit our centers week-after-week for fun, learning and building lasting friendships. It’s a few minutes out of the busy week that you can focus just on your little one, enjoying time with other families (besides your own!).

Get your merry on at a Gymboree Play & Music location near you!

First Friends

There’s something about watching your little one recognize and connect with another one that just makes you feel all warm and gooey inside.

Those first “friends” are so important. While babies don’t “play” with each other, they may stare, babble, or scream excitedly back and forth. They may also ignore each other at times, which is ok too!

At Gymboree Play & Music, we give you and your little one ample opportunities to connect with other children, adults and families in a warm, inviting space.

It’s never too early, or too late, for your family to join our family at Gymboree Play & Music.

The Event of The Summer: Saturday, August 19th!

Back in 2016, we were looking for a way to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We created an event, held at all of our North American locations on the same day, and called it “National Day of Play”. Thousands of families across the United States and Canada visited, and experienced the magic of Gymboree Play & Music first-hand.

We had to suspend our festivities for a few years due to the pandemic, but were able to bring it back last year. And now, for the sixth time, we are excited to host families of little ones as we open our doors to the community and celebrate childhood on Saturday, August 19th!

You and your little ones (ages birth to five) can:

  • Embark on.a playscape adventure
  • Hop a parachute flight
  • Swim in a sea of bubbles
  • Invite your friends, or make new ones!

Contact a Gymboree Play & Music location near you to get more information on the event of the summer!


* Schedules and event details vary by location.

Creating Connections: Grow Your Tribe

Parenting a young child can be full of amazing and magical moments.

But, unless you are lucky enough to have a group of friends or close family who are in the same point in their parenting journey and lives, it can also feel isolating and lonely.

For over 45 years, Gymboree Play & Music has been creating a fun, welcoming space where parents can gather not only to support their child’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional development, but where they can connect and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

If you’re lucky enough to already have friends at the same place in their life, bring them along to a Gymboree Play & Music location near you! We can all use more members in our “tribe”.

Celebrate the Season With Friends and Family

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Holiday parties, festive lights, celebrations with friends and family all add to the joy and fun. 

Having a little one (or two or three!) in the family, and experiencing the wonder of the season through their eyes, makes it even more special.

Our Gymboree Play & Music locations are also celebrating the season, and embracing the community of families that visit our centers week-after-week for fun and learning.

Find Your People

Unless you are one of the lucky few who have close friends who live nearby and had their kids around the same time as you, being a new parent can be very isolating. 

Making new friends as an adult is hard, especially over the past few years. It’s complicated negotiating the social landscape: trying to balance your own comfort level around the need to get out of the house and DO THINGS!

And we all know how important it is to support your child’s social and emotional development.

We’re here to help! At Gymboree Play & Music, we’ve been building family connections for over 45 years: child-to-child, adult-to-adult, family-to-family. 

From birth to kindergarten, we can help you build a tribe of families all living a shared experience, supporting each other through their children’s milestones.
