Coworking for Parents (Juice Box)

We're looking for space in Manayunk, East Falls, Conshohocken, or the Eastern Main Line

We are parents who usually work from home full or part time, and who live in or west of Philadelphia (Mt Airy, Main Line, Manayunk, Conshohocken, King of Prussia, etc). We get together for coworking sessions regularly, and are working towards opening a permanent coworking office space (to be called "Juice Box") with on-site child care and many more services... to help us all find community, socialize, learn, get stuff done. . . and achieve balance with our work and home life. Benefits will include conference and meeting rooms, a nursing/pumping room, community dinners, space for parents to spend time with their kids on breaks, mentoring and learning events, and so much more.

If you work from home and have little ones running around, you know how difficult it is to be productive, let alone attempt a phone call or host a meeting. It's also incredibly isolating to be the only grown up around. Adults need each other. Kids need each other too (there are so many benefits to little ones socializing from a very early age). Our group, and eventually this business, hopes to solve this problem for many self employed parents in and west of Philadelphia.

How will it work?

Kind of like a gym membership. Drop in for a day, pick out any available desk (they'll be in clusters), and work/socialize for $25 including free coffee, Wifi, a cereal bar, and the day's events.

Become a full time member for $325/month (no long-term commitment). This gives you your own permanent desk where you can keep your own monitor, chair, files, etc. It includes everything - utilities, Wifi, coffee, events - and most importantly - the ability to be a strong member of the community.

Or go for something in between. A 1 day per week membership for $95/month, or a 3 day per week membership for $225/month.

Childcare will most likely be priced by the day, at a cost of $50 - $70 per child, depending on age as well as membership level and scheduling. They will have a fun, creative space and will be cared for by experienced, nurturing teachers.

Just remember... the desk and childcare are only a fraction of what you're there for. It's about the people, the friendships and connections you'll make, the serendipitous moments. It's about finding community. Being part of a club.
