BABIES OF THE GLOBAL MAJORITY
Community
Babies of the Global Majority is a peer-led playgroup created for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) children and their caregivers to connect, rest, and grow in community. Open to all this space celebrates BIPOC families, offering a nurturing environment where parents and caregivers can share experiences, build relationships, and find support during the early stages of parenting.
This playgroup is best for families with kids ages 0 - 5 years old.
Each gathering offers time for conversation and play, with a focus on joy, cultural connection, and belonging. Whether you’re looking to meet other families, exchange parenting wisdom, or simply spend time in an affirming and peaceful setting, you are welcome here.
To help maintain a safe and comfortable space for participants, RSVP is required to receive the location details.
Play
Gather to read, sing, dance, play and explore the nature of the Berkshires. This playgroup is fun! Activities range from hide & seek, sensory play, scavenger hunts, story time, group songs, dance parties and more.
There are few playgroups where children and their parents celebrate diverse representation in books and activities. In BGM we’re here to uplift each other.
Support
If you have felt isolated or marginalized in the Berkshires, you are not alone. Join us for conversation about race, culture, language, or just your day-to-day life with a likeminded community.
