I agree, this is a critical issue for me. I am a lot of the home- based businesses and workers in my area are also parents that have to be with their kids after school, or when the don't have child care coverage.
I am actively trying to recruit a partner that could have this as a "service-next-door". I belong to a Gym that has child care but the drop off is limited to 2 hours. I think this is a great discussion, would love to know what other members think/do about this. -A On Dec 21, 5:33 pm, "TechVenue.com" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Does anyone have any data on generally what percentage of coworking > places offer any childcare inside or adjacent to the space? > > Felicity athttp://www.cubesandcrayons.comhas shared in a few threads > already, and has a great thing going - I hope it spreads. > > If this need is not considered to some degree in coworking business > plans, I'm concerned this could be an obstacle to inclusion and > therefore long term sustainability for coworking, as there's always a > piece of the coworking pie that for ~18 years of their career have > dependents.
