Welcome to Galoop!

Baby & Toddler Morning Programs in Chestnut Hill.
Located on the Brookline–Newton border, Galoop is a warm, inclusive place for babies and young children (6 months–4 years) and the adults who care for them.

Designed to Grow With You

Galoop offers play-based morning programs for babies, toddlers, and young children, where children attend with a parent, nanny, grandparent, or trusted caregiver. Led by experienced early-childhood educators, our small-group classes support cognitive, emotional, and social growth through bilingual circle time, music, movement, sensory play, and gentle routines — creating a joyful foundation for preschool and beyond.

Our Families Love Galoop!

…Galoop teachers inspire calm confidence, boundless energy, and kindness in each of our kids. It has, and continues to be, an anchor for us that we trust and rely on. There is no better place to be.  — Myra

…For me it’s a place where I feel at ease. For my granddaughters, it’s a place where they can be independent and comfortable exploring their own limits; there’s no anxiety here… — Emma

…I couldn't imagine a better program to get our toddlers ready to attend preschool on their own. I'm not sure where I'd be without Cecilia and Galoop, but certainly not my best parenting self. I already can't wait to attend with my third! — Emily

…The routines and preschool-like environment are great for the kids and the parenting advice weekly received by Cecilia is super helpful… As an international and multilingual family is really great to be part of Galoop’s community… — Eugenia

…Both my son and I made lasting friendships that have continued beyond the program… Now that my son has started preschool, I can see how much his time at Galoop has helped him… — Ashley

…There are many options for music classes or storytimes, but nothing like Cecilia’s program. I really can’t say enough good things about her. She is truly amazing, kind, energetic, friendly, professional… — Stacey
