All About The Bunny Hive
The owner of the Mile Square installment of The Bunny Hive is Michelle, a local mom of two little ones who has lived in Hoboken for about seven years with her husband and kids. She told The Hoboken Girl that as a mom of an almost 3-year-old and almost 1-year-old, she wishes she had something like The Bunny Hive to take her children to earlier, and is so excited to bring this venture to the Mile Square.

So, what exactly is The Bunny Hive? It’s a social club designed for families with children aged two weeks to kindergarten where children can participate in fun and engaging classes designed to nurture their development.
“From the moment you walk in our doors you will be welcomed by our signature scent and warmth of the natural light. I wanted to create an oasis from your daily life and a space you and your littles are welcomed as you are,” Michelle told HG.
The Bunny Hive curriculum “nurtures the bond between little ones and their grownups while providing opportunities for relationship building and socialization among participants.” Michelle said that the Hoboken program is designed around experiential learning and play, with education experiences woven in for both kids and grown-ups.

The teachers at the space will be trained to meet kids where they are on their developmental journeys, and provide opportunities for self-directed exploration while celebrating developmental milestones along the way. Classes will be provided seven days a week at the Hoboken space and will take place hourly — giving your little ones a variety of class opportunities to explore. The classes will focus on relevant and engaging themes that tie in sensory experiences, including art, music, baby massage, ballet, culinary, and more.
In addition to engaging classes for kids, the space will also be available for private parties and community pop-ups, adding to the socialization aspect.

The storefront where The Bunny Hive will reside was also a filming location for It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. The space transformed into a cafe and then Lily’s Bloom’s for the movie, per Patch Hoboken.

The Hoboken location will be its first in New Jersey, and is currently hiring staff members and looking for photographers and vendors.
