We hope that when you walk through our doors you immediately feel at ease as you enter into a space that is safe and magical for your child, and also a space that feels like a special experience for yourself. As moms ourselves, we understand how important it is to have a place to spend time with your children, and other families, that feels clean, welcoming, warm, and happy. We have designed The Bunny Hive to be a place we'd feel comfortable and happy bringing our own children, and we hope you experience that during your time with us. We are so excited to have you join us and can't wait to meet you!
Brittany and Katy
Co-Founders of The Bunny Hive
Brittany combines her love of motherhood and community with her background in business to work on all things The Bunny Hive, with an emphasis on brand experience and design, marketing, events, and strategy. Prior to The Bunny Hive, she worked at Harvard Business School and The University of Virginia Darden School of Business.
The inception of The Bunny Hive goes back to when Brittany moved to Atlanta from Boston with her husband, Mark, and then 2-month old son, Jack. She was looking for a space to feel at home in her new city as she floated around town, dropping into different baby offerings here and there, but there wasn’t anything that felt quite right. As she worked to make friends for herself and Jack, she missed the community atmosphere she had experienced at boutique fitness studios before having a baby and now that she was a mom, she felt like it was impossible to fully dive into a fitness studio community any time soon. She wished there was a place that blended her desire to spend time with baby and expose him to engaging activities, and also allowed her meet other parents in the area and develop that tight-knit community she missed. So the idea of The Bunny Hive was born with the help of one of her dearest friends, Katy.
Brittany and Mark have two little boys, Jack (4) and Harry (2), and welcomed a baby girl named Lottie in May 2022. Brittany loves iced coffee, photography, and baby clothes.
Katy is passionate about early childhood education, relationship building, and development. Prior to The Bunny Hive, she held a variety of roles in the education and non-profit industries including: the founding executive director of a chapter of a youth development organization called The First Tee, an early education teacher, a community affairs manager at an international school in Shanghai, and an application reader for Princeton University. Today at The Bunny Hive, Katy focuses on curriculum development, client relations, and all things human resources such as recruitment and staff training.
Katy found herself in a situation similar to Brittany when she moved away from New York City with a six month old and was looking to create a network of support with fellow young families. With a background in youth development and early childhood education, Katy knew the importance of exposing her son, John, to new environments and social activities, but struggled to find a variety of classes that met both of their needs in terms of community, convenience, and developmental readiness. Together she and Brittany began dreaming of a place that met these needs and together created the concept of The Bunny Hive.
Katy and her husband, Will, have a four-year-old named John, a two-year-old named Eleanor, and a baby girl named Kathryn, who was born May 2022. Katy loves traveling, cooking with Will, running marathons, and eating any and all seafood.
