[Coworking] Re: coworking with childcare
Hi folks, I've been lurking on the list for some time now: this is my first posting to the list. I'm based in Melbourne, Australia, and have - as part of a group - been slowly working through ideas around extending some of the existing coworking activities already underway in Melbourne. Childcare has been a hot discussion topic for a group of us that are involved in the regular Melbourne Jelly event (meljel). In addition to the Jelly crew, there appears to be solid interest from mother's groups and new parents that we've encountered. Here in Australia, there are a number of regulatory considerations, and my partner Stephanie has been investigating those. We'd be keen to contribute our thoughts and research so far, and to learn from existing efforts that have been trialed successfully or otherwise. My thanks also to the openness and quality of the community associated with this list. We're keen to reciprocate and share our experiences with you all as our plans take shape.

[Coworking] Re: coworking with childcare
Hi there, I run Cubes&crayons which is coworking with childcare space. We have been around for almost two years. Childcare is a whole different element on so many levels. It would take essays to explain. We love our space. You can learn more at www.cubesandcrayons.com or on our blog cubes.typepad.com/blog Felicity Founder On Oct 27, 5:46 pm, Melisa Tintocalis wrote: > Any coworking space owners ever think about adding a childcare element to > the mix?

Unfortunately I do not have much to contribute at this point. We would like to set up a nonprofit operation, but numbers seem tricky.

[Coworking] Re: coworking with childcare
Hi there, Daycare for kids while their parents are coworking - that the future of work, isn't it? We plan to do this in the LockSchuppen - CoWorking in Dresden, as we see great benefit and especially less stress and lower impact with carbon footprint as bringing kids zu kindergarden is not necessary (or at least not as much). We have not yet set up the LockSchuppen (an old unused building of the German Railway is our favorite location, http://twitter.com/LockSchuppen). In the meanwhile we work virtually and are looking for easier and leaner ways to get the project going. Cheers, Ralf PS.: Follow us on http://twitter.com/LockSchuppen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Hi Ralf, Wish you all the best with this. It is indeed the future of work, or at least some of us believe and have even lived it.
