WeeBloom is in Residence at Hoot!
We’re thrilled to welcome WeeBloom to this year’s Summer Hootenanny!
WeeBloom brings mindfulness practices to little ones—and the grown-ups who nurture them. Founded by Nicole Keating, WeeBloom helps children build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence through engaging, age-appropriate activities. Check out some of their drop-ins this summer!
GrownUp + Me Mindfulness
ages 0-4
Engage with your littlest one through mindful play, gentle movement with music and snuggles designed to support both of your nervous systems. This relaxed, zero-agenda class helps reduce tension and fatigue while creating space for meaningful connection and bonding with your baby.
All classes held at 271 Prospect Park West- on the back porch if weather permits!
Children will explore mindfulness tools that build self-awareness and emotional regulation while expressing themselves through art, music, and imaginative play. Through cooperative games and group activities, they'll strengthen social connections and confidence—all while enjoying a fun, engaging week designed to help them ease into the school year and soak up a little more summer.ore fun in the sun
