Canopy, a beautiful new play and movement studio designed as a haven for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers, will officially open its doors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Wednesday, May 1.

Launched by Rachel Beider, founder of New York City's beloved PRESS Massage studios, Canopy offers a variety of classes, events, and open play sessions for little ones. The space (whose inspiration draws from the Reggio Emilia and Montessori educational philosophies) is dedicated to children (aged infant through four years old) and their caregivers. Canopy's welcoming and bright open floor plan features soft rugs & toys, a cozy lounge area for adults, and designated spaces for babies to safely explore.

Canopy offers a variety of engaging classes (like baby book club, sensory workshops, baby-and-me yoga classes, and much more), as well as parties and events. Membership offerings (both Founding and Monthly plans) can be explored at www.thecanopynyc.com.

Canopy is open daily from 9am - 5pm. Address: 118 N 11th St Floor 3, Brooklyn, NY 11249

More about Canopy: When Founder Rachel Beider’s first baby was born in March 2020, just a few days following the first shelter-in-place orders in New York City, she realized that her experience as a new mom would be vastly different from what she had planned for and expected. Postpartum anxiety, depression, and loneliness set in. Without a community of moms surrounding her, classes and “baby and me” activities to engage in, or a designated “third space”, she lacked camaraderie with other new parents. A few years later, five months pregnant with her second child, Rachel was determined that this time would be different. She began thinking about how she could build a comforting physical space that would help her and other new parents feel supported. And thus, Canopy was born: a beautiful, safe, and intentionally-designed space where moms, dads, caregivers, and little ones can bond and find community.
