Work and parenthood.

Where family and career really are compatible!

Harmony

Coworking Toddler unites family and career, creating an opportunity to achieve genuine balance.

Children

State-approved childcare assistants take the very best care of the children, engaging them in while parents work close by.

Career

In our co-working space, parents can network and focus on their job in a professional environment.

The idea

Coworking Toddler thinks childcare in a whole new way, and at last makes the dream of combining family and career a reality. You can find our first location in Berlin – Prenzlauer Berg on Greifenhagener Strasse 48, close to the S- and U-Bahnhof Schönhauser Allee. The second one is in Berlin – Neukölln at Maybachufer 37 located directly at Landwehrkanal.

Our philosophy is to bring together career and childcare: with us, parents can focus on their work in a professional environment, while we take the very best care of their little ones right next door in our childcare space, where we create a truly unique educational experience. We help parents get more out of their professional and family lives for the benefit of parents, kids and businesses!

Coworking Toddler is suitable for:

Parents who are self-employed, freelance or employed and working from home
Parents who want to focus on work but still be close to their children
Parents who are looking for a caring environment for their children
Parents who are looking to combine family and career
Parents who are looking for a new approach to childcare that’s mindful of both parents’ and children’s needs.

Our childcare facilities

Our qualified, state-approved childcare assistants offer professional childcare and age-appropriate activities for children. Coworking Toddler’s unique blend of workspace and childcare means that unlike a conventional daycare, you can breastfeed while at work and even have lunch with your children, the staff looking after them and other parents. In agreement with daycare staff, parents can even meet with their children occasionally to snuggle, play or recharge their batteries.

Our daycare is built upon the framework of a unique educational concept, the essentials of which include:

Attachment and needs-oriented care, close to parents
Raising children together with other children, parents and educators
Age-appropriate learning by allowing children to ‘be in the zone’ when occupied with a task (the so-called “flow effect”)
Purposefully supporting children’s development through movement and theater play

Our Co-working space

In our co-working space, parents can focus on work whilst their children are cared for right next door.

Our office area doesn’t just look good, there’s also a lot of substance to it: Every desk can be used full-time during daycare opening hours and includes WLAN, an electricity outlet and a locker. There are fixed desks so that parents don’t have to move to a new desk every day. Parents can tackle their projects in a productive atmosphere, network and connect with other parents. For telephone calls, we’ve also created two separate areas.

In the kitchenette, there’s a refrigerator for keeping your snacks and “brain food” fresh. And of course, freshly-ground coffee and a large selection of teas.

At lunch time, children, parents and daycare staff meet in the communal area. Lunch is delivered, freshly prepared by an organic wholefoods catering service. Parents who wish to meet with their children during the day, for example to breastfeed can arrange this directly with staff. Should a child need its’ parents, parents are of course informed right away. After all, daycare is only next door!

Locations

Berlin – Prenzlauer Berg

The first Coworking Toddler is located in the heart of the Prenzlauer Berg district in the central location between Schönhauser Allee and Stargarder Strasse. Our children romp around in bright rooms with their own outdoor area, which we have transformed into an urban discovery and romp garden together with our parents.

In the facility, 17 children are lovingly cared for in a needs-oriented manner. The main focus of our work is early musical education and keeping the children on the move – through regular forest days, yoga and gymnastics according to the Hengstenberg-Pikler concept.

The Coworking Space is directly adjacent to our nursery and its very quiet location enables productive work in the middle of the big city.

Berlin – Neukölln

Our second location opened in May 2019 in a prime location on the beautiful Maybachufer. In the spacious premises of the representative new building, 25 children aged 0 years up until school entry are looked after in two groups. Our children can use the in-house courtyard with playground and lawn at any time.

A loving and needs-oriented care is a matter of course for us. The main focus of our work is our movement concept, including yoga classes and use of a gymnasium, as well as theatre play to strengthen the children’s social skills and language development.

The coworking space is located next to the daycare facilities and offers parents high-quality workplaces with a view onto the Landwehrkanal.

For companies

Coworking Toddler offers companies an optimal solution to help make their employees’ return to work after parental leave quicker and smoother. Instead of working from home with a child around, employees can focus on work, safe in the knowledge that their children are being cared for just next door. A family-orientated approach doesn’t have to compromise productivity.

As well as shorter periods of parental leave and sustainable employee loyalty, companies benefit from being proven to foster family friendly values. Get in touch with us and we can work together to find a tailored solution for your company.

Supporters and sponsors

We could never have launched Coworking Toddler without the help of others. This has definitely been a group effort with many different people supporting us in both word and deed. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to you all!
