Baumhaus opened their doors in 2015 when there were hardly any play cafes in Hong Kong. The concept was simple – a space where families with very young children could find a safe space, creative play space, decent coffee and a community of parents and early childhood professionals to get support from.
What’s more, Baumhaus is the home of Hong Kong’s #1 Kindermusik program. Focusing on truly age-appropriate learning for babies and toddlers 0-4 years, the program supports parents in building musical foundations and developing language, motor, cognitive and social skills through music. Those with newborns can rejoice, as babies 0-5 months old have free access to the facilities!

Designed by its Co-founder Carsten Rakutt, it’s the first of his Rakoon Design playrooms, which are now center pieces in popular Hong Kong playgrounds like the Lee Gardens Playdot, One Sky Family Centre, and the Acorn Playhouse.
Baumhaus knows that parents need a space and time for calm— and so the coffee lounge is designed for adults to make meaningful connections over good cups of coffee. They even host regular workshops and meet ups for parents and caregivers, from music to parenting! Even the aunties get to join in creative expression workshops!
Baumhaus teachers are trained to promote positive parenting skills, which they share with the adults in and outside of the classroom. By helping them understand their children better, they build a community of confident children and empowered parents.
Baumhaus teachers are trained to bring music in a magical and age-appropriate way. From Kindermusik classes, to toddler concerts, even to singalongs in the playroom, Baumhaus children are exposed to dedicated musicians.
