Parents' Nook collaborates with museums, community centers, coworking spaces, and corporations to create welcoming hubs for families. These spaces integrate coworking, child play, and community engagement, providing parents and caregivers of young children with enriching and supportive environments. By partnering with trusted and inclusive spaces rooted in education, creativity, and connection, Parents' Nook helps bring families closer together while fostering a sense of belonging.
Our approach to collaboration is rooted in adaptability and partnership. We work closely with museums, co-working spaces, community centers, and corporations to blend seamlessly into their existing schedules and offerings. Together, we create meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships that support families and enhance the community.
In Public Nooks, parents and caregivers can find flexible spaces where they can connect with others, focus on work, or take a break, while their children engage in guided, open-ended play. Local facilitators oriented with educational approaches, such as Waldorf and RIE, lead these play sessions, creating enriching experiences that nurture children’s creativity, curiosity, and social-emotional development.

- Coworking Spaces:
- Nooks allow parents to focus on their work while knowing their children are nearby, safe, and engaged.
- These partnerships enhance the coworking experience, making it family-friendly and welcoming.
- Corporations:
- Nooks offers family-friendly solutions for employees, creating a balance between work and home life.
- By supporting parents, corporations demonstrate care and commitment to their workforce’s well-being.
Enhancing the Experience with Digital Tools
Parents' Nook integrates easy-to-use digital tools, such as:
- Registration systems for a smooth and simple process.
- Resources and updates to keep families informed.
- Feedback opportunities to ensure the offerings evolve with the needs of the community.
Through these thoughtful collaborations, we adapt and grow alongside the families and spaces we work with, ensuring every Nook is meaningful and responsive.
Creating a network of support for families
By partnering with museums, co-working spaces, community centers, and corporations, Parents' Nook is creating a gentle, sustainable network of support for families. These Nooks provide warm, enriching spaces where parents and children can thrive together. Hosts, in turn, gain an opportunity to engage with their community in a deeper, more meaningful way, bridging the gap between education, play, work, and family life.
The new way of working and living requires a new approach to parenting and childcare. Let’s create something that is needed and appreciated.
