The Women’s Business Incubator launched The Inc. Community Coworking + Playschool in February 2017 in Green Lake with the mission to foster a positive, child-friendly workplace culture that would inspire connection, confidence and growth for parents at any stage of their career development or entrepreneurial journey. Created by mothers, the coworking concept originated with pop-up working events where moms who were transitioning back to work could come together to work and bring their children along to be cared for by nannies.
The Seattle Collaborative Space Alliance
”What makes us unique is that access for a coworking spot and a Playschool spot is all packed into one price. Whatever you pay for the preschooler or toddler rooms also gives you access to the coworking room. The affordability piece is really important to us so we do our best to consider this when we set pricing. It’s a constant juggle as our model evolves but we want to be able to serve a range of parents.”
