Y Beginnings
Parenting Center
Whether you’re a new parent, expecting a baby, or chasing a toddler, we’re so glad you found us! Welcome!
The Y is here for all families, as your community, your resource, your hub of activities, and your connection to local parents and children.
We invite you to tell us about your family, or email Mara Bragg, our Y Beginnings Parenting Center manager, to say hello, ask a question, or schedule a virtual coffee meeting. We look forward to meeting you, and welcoming your family to the Y!
Spring 2022
Stay tuned for a new Parent & Baby Yoga session in May/June! Tuesdays, 12:00 – 12:45 pm, outdoors on the Y’s rooftop.
Best for new parents with pre-crawling babies.
$72 for four-class series; $18/class parents who join the series after start of series.
Guided by weekly prompts, new moms with babies through six months who live in Upper Manhattan are invited to gather in local community and share from their experience, ask questions or just listen, in a supportive and inclusive environment that honors each unique family. We’re still meeting on Zoom, because it’s super accessible for new mom life! Plus informal meet-ups in person, outdoors in the park.
Stay tuned for the next workshop on June 12, 10:00 – 11:30 am.

My son has grown in so many ways and so much of it is due to the TLC of your wonderful staff. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.
