As a mom, finding new and exciting activities or playgroups for your kids can be a struggle. So whether you’re a new mom or just looking for some opportunities for your little ones to socialize, the Bronx has some great meetups and playgroups. We’ve rounded up groups all over the borough, and will continue to update our list.
Bronx and Westchester Mom’s Group
Facebook group for Bronx and Westchester moms. Log on to interact with other moms seeking playmates for their children. This is also a great way to connect with other mothers and form new friendships for your kids and yourself.
This playgroup meets 1 to 3 days a week (just mornings for now), children and their caregivers spend time outdoors in the forest, fields (if we can find them), gardens, etc… of the Bronx.
A party place, but offers childcare and now mommy and me classes both daytime and evenings. This is a great place if you’re looking for an afternoon to fill with your young ones.
A part of Music Together, Heart and Beat Music offers a childhood music and movement program for small children. If your child loves music, don’t hesitate to attend this program! There are also lots of learning opportunities here.
A great activity for your children in the Bronx area. Now offering classes in art, music, dance, and more. Located in Riverdale.

Hi Traci,
Most of the groups on this list I know for a fact are still active- I did see the new moms group link was broken, so that one specifically I guess is no longer active. But, if you join the Bronx and Westchester Moms group on FB to meet other moms and then the Tots on the Go, they have meets up pretty much every week.

Thank you for creating this helpful list. Being a new mom is so isolating at times, so knowing where to reach and connect with other new mom and dads is so vital.
