Inspiration

In addition to child-friendly co-working spaces, there are many other organizations and models that inspire us. We’ve highlighted a few here.

The motherhood center

Located in New York, The Motherhood Center provides supportive services for new and expecting moms, including a range of treatment options for women experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression (PPD).

PATAGONIA

Patagonia has offered on-site child care at their Ventura, California headquarters since 1983. Its benefits include greater employee loyalty, a stronger workplace culture of trust, and more women in management. In addition, Patagonia’s child care pays for itself, recouping 90% of its costs and leading to 100% maternal retention.

Over The moon parenting

Over The Moon Parenting, located in Norwell, Massachusetts, is a parent and child enrichment center. It offers education and support from pregnancy to preschool, including breastfeeding classes, prenatal yoga, infant CPR classes, and a drop-off toddler playschool for 2 and 3 year olds.
