There’s a simplier way to offer childcare.

Most executives think on-site childcare requires too much investment for the ROI.
We've built a license-exempt model that's faster, simpler, and financially sustainable—no massive buildout, no state licensing.

Get a clear
financial picture.

30-minute consultation to assess what offering childcare
looks like for your business.

Here’s what stops your company’s childcare project before it starts:

Your operations team tells you it requires full state licensing, 5,000 sq ft minimum, $300K+ in ramp up and buildout, and 12 months of regulatory approval. Childcare is not for the faint of heart!

Now for the good news: Hopscotch’s proven method of flexible, proximity-based care elimates these barriers and makes it easy and quick to set up five star childcare for your organization.

ROI

The business case is clear—whether you're filling buildings or growing membership.

  • Your client services team is fielding the same request in every corporate lease negotiation: "What childcare options do you offer?" Tenants are choosing competitor buildings that have family amenities. Major CRE firms are exploring childcare for property differentiation—but getting stuck because their ops teams think it requires full licensing and massive investment.

    The reality: Proximity-based childcare can be added without state licensing. One tenant who signs because of childcare covers the program cost. Buildings with family amenities lease faster and command premium rates.

  • Your competitors are differentiating in a crowded market by serving working parents—a demographic most spaces ignore. Members keep asking about childcare, but your ops analysis came back saying it requires too much space and regulatory approval.

    The reality: License-exempt models work in smaller footprints without state licensing. Childcare gives you a competitive edge in a saturated market and creates a loyal member base that's underserved elsewhere.

We empower families, support small businesses and entrepreneurs, and enable businesses.

Hopscotch empowers businesses to provide childcare in unexpected places by combining the amenities of an office with the convenience of an on-site playspace designed for busy families. 

We believe forward thinking businesses support their caregiving workforce, that parents shouldn’t have to choose between their personal and professional goals, and that career and family life can go hand-in-hand. 

Our drop-in, montessori-inspired playspaces are led by engaging caregivers who take an intentional approach to foster natural curiosity through play-based learning and exploration. We help simplify the lives of working parents with an all-in-one space, allowing families to work, grow, and thrive together.

Finally, the future of working parenthood is here.

Praise for coworking and childcare

  • I am a PhD student in History and mother of a 14 month old... Blush with its combination of childcare and coworking space has created the ideal environment so that I am not at risk of becoming another statistic among mothers struggling to finish PhDs ... I want to be perfect in my scholarship and also as a mother. Blush has allowed me to thread that needle and while perfection isn't possible I feel like I am working in an environment that allows me to come close to it.

    I truly believe none of [my accomplishments this year] would have been possible without the reassurance of childcare I trust and a vibrant coworking space that has facilitated inspired writing and thinking.

  • Blush completely changed my plans for returning to work after maternity leave for the better. We were balancing 6 different sitters to cover the work week and needed more consistency. We found Blush and it immediately made our lives so much easier. The teachers are wonderful and took care of our son during a really stressful time as we waited to get off the waitlist for daycare. It was well work the 30 minute drive to spend a few afternoons a week at Blush! Blush helped us piece together care when we needed it most. The afternoons I spent working at Blush were always the most focused and productive. Knowing my son was well cared for and just down the hall allowed me to be really present with my job in a way that I couldn't be at home with babysitters. I always felt accomplished in my job and energized to put my 'mom hat' back on after an afternoon at Blush.

  • Blush has unlocked a life I honestly don’t think would have ever been possible without them. I have been able to nurse my bottle-rejecting babe, eat lunch with her every day, and snuggle her regularly for naps while also taking on meaningful work projects that further my career as a CPA and Finance Director. I can be flexible with my part time work hours to better serve my clients without feeling like I am 'being difficult' for a nanny/babysitter by changing my hours day to day or week to week. I've also met other parents in the same stage of life that have become my friends. Blush is the village I wish every working mom or dad had available to them. And watching my daughter light up when she sees her friends is just the best.
