Coworking & childcare/ Re: [Coworking] Cubes and Crayons
Ulrike@Rasheed22 coworking & more
I can't answer your question re/ Cubes and Crayons, but I very much
care for the kids&work theme ... I'm 'defefending' my approach that
work and kids can be in one place against many opposing comments.
Two places I know of that offer both, explicitely, are Third Door in
London and Rockzipfel in Leipzig.
Rasheed22 in Cairo (i.e. me) is child-friendly in terms of philosophy
and set-up, but we do not (yet) offer fully-fledged childcare
services.
I'd be very happy to join/create a CoP on combining coworking and
childcare in different cultural and economic settings!
With greetings from Cairo/Egypt,
Uli

I am very interested in thriving familys as part of thriving businesses. I would like to be part of the discussion.

Keep me posted

you're both invited to visit us in Cairo! And yes, let's start the conversation.
A start would be these two questions to all existing spaces:
1. how many and who offer what exactly in terms of childcare/spaces
adapted to being child-friendly?
2. What has been requested by your (prospective) members: play area,
changing tables, daycare by the hour, etc etc?
And yes, Julie, that 'working from home with a little one' brought me
to coworking ;-) When I declared my intention to open a
family-friendly community centre with office facilities back in
September 2006 at The Shire in Nova Scotia, I had no clue what
coworking was ... I presented my dream and then Maria from The Hub
Islington walked up to me and said, hey, why don't you open a hub!
Since then I've taken a detour via managing a daycare from fall 2006
until last year September, and am now (back to) focussing on a
child/family-friendly coworking space!
yallabina, as it's called in Arabic, let's go!

I'm not in Cairo. I am in the US. Hopefully someone in the US will open a hub that I can become a part of.

pictures of your hub?
In college i studied early childhood development, with the ambition to
create day care centers in businesses. I got sidetracked from that
for years while working from home in a different business with my son
in home-school. But since I have just opened a coworking space (in
Costa Mesa Ca USA) we have been looking at building it into our
design. I imagined a place under the same roof but separate with
trained child care providers taking in the children. The child care
facility could have better rates for coworking membership.
I would like to know if dads are interested as much as moms.
