Our family’s experience with Galoop has been nothing short of wonderful. My son, who is now almost 3, attended Galoop from ages 1 to 2.5, going two days a week. It quickly became an essential part of our weekly routine, providing structure, consistency, and a warm, welcoming environment. The teachers at Galoop are incredibly loving, not only towards the children but also to the parents and caregivers. Their wealth of knowledge has been invaluable, offering guidance on everything from developmental milestones to feeding support. They were always there to answer any questions we had, making us feel supported in every way. Galoop is also a wonderful place to build connections. Both my son and I made lasting friendships that have continued beyond the program. My son loved socializing with other children, learning to share, and playing cooperatively. He especially enjoyed the songs, which he would sing at home, and the outdoor playtime, where he developed his gross motor skills. The art and sensory activities were a hit, and as a parent, I appreciated that the mess stayed at Galoop! Now that my son has started preschool, I can see how much his time at Galoop has helped him. His transition was so smooth, largely thanks to the routine, structure, and comfort he gained from being around other children and teachers at Galoop. We are incredibly grateful for the memories we’ve made at Galoop and the positive impact it has had on our son’s development and our family.

Galoop is truly a magical place for young children and their caregivers. As a grandparent, I’ve had the joy of bringing my granddaughter here and participating in the wonderfully appropriate activities designed by the loving and skilled teachers. The care and attention the staff provide to every child is remarkable, and it’s evident in the happy, confident kids who love being there. My granddaughter has blossomed in this nurturing environment. Her confidence has grown, and she eagerly looks forward to every day at Galoop. The other children and their caregivers create a warm, welcoming community that makes everyone feel included. I don’t recall my own children having actual friends at 18 months but my grandaughter runs into Galoop and hugs all of her friends there each and every day. Personally, it’s the highlight of my week to spend time at Galoop. I’ve not only witnessed my granddaughter’s growth but have also learned so much from the dedicated teachers and the thoughtful programming. Galoop is a special place where children thrive, and I’m grateful to be part of this wonderful experience.

I've been part of the Galoop community for the past five years, attending first with my daughter and most recently with my son. Life as a stay-at-home parent can be rather isolating, and Galoop has provided me with a space to connect with other parents for friendship and support while our toddlers get to experience a fun and enriching program. As I've navigated parenthood and its myriad of challenges, I have leaned heavily on Galoop's director Cecilia and the other parents in the community for advice, and even just to share a good laugh over the insanity that can be parenting. Cecilia is an incredibly warm and welcoming person, and parenting expert supreme. 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!

As a Speech Language Pathologist, I appreciate the partnership between caregivers and educators at Galoop! It is truly a unique program. Children can attend daily programs WITH their caregiver. I love the developmentally appropriate activities with toys that encourage communication and learning. The teachers are playful and warm and Cecilia, the Director, is a joy to work with! I highly recommend Galoop to families with young children! Liat Rosen, SLP & Owner of Collab Speech Therapy

We absolutely loved Galoop as clients when our kids were little - and now I’m lucky enough to teach there! The most special spot to form connections for us parents (and caregivers!) and our littles.
