Finding time for everything can be tough, but we’re here for you.
As urban professionals become parents, one of the most important questions they’ll face is the balance of career and family life. The cost and availability of quality childcare stretches most families financially or forces one parent to leave the workforce altogether. By introducing a new flexible, community-based space like Hopscotch, we’re seeking to open up opportunities for moms and dads to take on a side-hustle or work in meaningful spurts that contribute to the financial success of their family. As a coworking space designed specifically for parents, Hopscotch Labs is the new face of working parenthood.
