Hey, all! I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare. Does anyone have any insights or experience in this space? A recent focus group we hosted indicated that there is a HUGE market for this concept, but we’re still trying to get a handle on how it will actually play out. We want to be perceived as a sweet co-working community FIRST, _then_ as a community that also offers part-time childcare for working parents. Any insights? Thanks! Elizabeth ---

Hi Liz, I am just looking into this idea for WA now. Very passionate about a creche attached to a co-working space! Let me know if you come up with any ideas or plans that you want to share!

Hi Elizabeth, You should speak to Yusuf @ [http://www.third-door.com](http://www.third-door.com), they have been operating a similar concept for a year now. Happy to put you in touch with him, just send me an email at info @ coworkingspace ,com Regards Nikhil > **···** > > On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 3:14:26 PM UTC+1, Elizabeth Wood wrote: > > > Hey, all! > > > I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! > > > > > > We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare.

Third Door in London Piano B in Milan A slightly different concept is mothership hackerspace, in the US (I can’t recall the city) I was once running the opposite, a nursery where parents would find a quiet corner and fast internet, too 🙂 I believe someone is hosting a community on fb on this subject! > **···** > > * * * > > **From:** [nik...@modusindorum.com](mailto:nik...@modusindorum.com) > > **Sender:** [cowo...@googlegroups.com](mailto:cowo...@googlegroups.com) > > **Date:** Wed, 16 Apr 2014 03:31:30 -0700 (PDT) > > **To:** [cow...@googlegroups.com](mailto:cow...@googlegroups.com) > > **ReplyTo:** [cowo...@googlegroups.com](mailto:cowo...@googlegroups.com) > > **Subject:** [Coworking] Re: Co-working communities with on-site childcare? > > Hi Elizabeth, > > You should speak to Yusuf @ [http://www.third-door.com](http://www.third-door.com), they have been operating a similar concept for a year now. > > Happy to put you in touch with him, just send me an email at info @ coworkingspace ,com > > Regards > > Nikhil > > On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 3:14:26 PM UTC+1, Elizabeth Wood wrote: > > > Hey, all! > > > I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! > > > > > > We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare.

Hi Elizabeth, I am in San Diego and this has been a thought of mine for some time. I will be meeting with someone on Friday to see how we can get this started. There is not even a co-working space in my area, and none that have a childcare in place. I think there is a great market for this as well. Thank you @nikhil for mentioning Third-Door. I will be checking that out now. Sincerely, Jennylou Raya > **···** > > On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 7:14:26 AM UTC-7, Elizabeth Wood wrote: > > > Hey, all! > > > I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! > > > > > > We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare.

Hey everyone! Please check out the coworking and childcare google group. [Redirecting to Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/coworking-and-childcare) Lots of helpful information on this very challenging endeavor! We’ve been struggling in Seattle for over 2 years to find a building to meet childcare licensing requirements and building code requirements. Happy to talk with anyone interested in learning more! –Jessie [Works Progress](http://www.worksprogressseattle.com/) [Ellie’s Coworking + Childcare](http://www.elliescoworking.com/) > **···** > > On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 7:14:26 AM UTC-7, Elizabeth Wood wrote: > > > Hey, all! > > > I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! > > > > > > We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare.

Hi Elizabeth, You contacted me about this too. I’m hoping I can get my open this year, but there are a lot of obstacles. I wish you the best because it’s been a long road for me and I haven’t even got the location open yet. : ) > **···** > > On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 10:14:26 AM UTC-4, Elizabeth Wood wrote: > > > Hey, all! > > > I’m a new member of this community and looking forward to getting involved in the co-working conversation! > > > > > > We’re in the very early planning stages of a new co-working community in Cincinnati that will offer part-time, on-site childcare.
