Why It Works

Brain Growth

According to Harvard and the AAP, babies' brains grow faster in the first years than at any other time. Connection comes before learning.

Learning Through Play

Through play, babies develop cognitive, motor, language, and social-emotional skills naturally.

Guided Play

Combines the freedom of play with intentional support, helping babies reach key milestones without pressure.

Multi-Sensory

Engaging all five senses creates stronger, more lasting neural pathways.

We don't just focus on babies; we support the whole experience of parenting. Because when caregivers feel supported, babies thrive, and so do we.

Our Story

My Tribu was born from a friendship between two Miami moms who shared a vision: create a space where babies and families could learn, play, and grow together, in Spanish and English, outdoors, with intention and joy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, always. My Tribu is designed for the baby and their caregiver, whether that's mom, dad, grandma, or nanny. That bond is an essential part of the program.

We don't follow milestones here, and we don't compare. Every baby moves at their own pace, and we simply follow along.

Because repetition builds trust. In 8 weeks, your baby knows the songs, trusts the space, and you've found your people.

A maximum of 10 duos. Intentionally small, so it stays intimate and every family feels truly seen.

Guided play is an intentional experience where caregivers and babies share a moment of connection through play. We guide you with activities designed so that, as a team, you can explore, learn, and have fun together. It doesn't just stimulate sensory, cognitive, and motor development, it also strengthens the emotional bond from the very first months of life.

No stress. At the end of each program we offer an optional outdoor make-up masterclass. If you missed a class, you can catch up there.
