For working parents, balancing career responsibilities with quality time and care for young children is one of the biggest daily challenges. Long commutes to daycare, unpredictable schedules, and the stress of managing it all can quickly lead to burnout. That’s where on-site childcare becomes a game-changer.

At The POP Center in Newton, MA, we provide flexible coworking spaces with built-in, high-quality childcare—a modern solution designed for today’s busy families. Whether you work remotely, freelance, or need a few uninterrupted hours during the week, our setup helps you get the job done without sacrificing your child’s care or development.

What Is On-Site Childcare?

On-site childcare means that your child is cared for in the same location where you’re working—no extra commuting, no separate facility, and no long separation. At The POP Center, your child plays and learns in our nurturing, play-based environment just steps away from your workspace.

5 Major Benefits of On-Site Childcare for Working Parents

1. Peace of Mind

Knowing your child is nearby in a safe, enriching environment helps reduce anxiety and guilt for parents. You can stay focused at work while still feeling connected and in control. If your child needs you—or you just want to check in—you’re right there.

✅ Less stress, more productivity.

2. Time-Saving Convenience

Skip the rush hour daycare drop-offs and pickups. With on-site childcare at The POP Center, your commute is as simple as walking down the hall. It’s an efficient solution that eliminates logistical headaches, giving you more time to work—and more time to be present with your child after.

🚗 Less driving.
🕒 More time for what matters.

3. Flexible, Affordable Options

Traditional daycare often requires rigid schedules and expensive monthly tuition. At The POP Center, we offer drop-in passes, half or full day care, and affordable Work ‘N Play memberships—so you only pay for what you use. This flexible model supports part-time workers, freelancers, or parents with unpredictable schedules.

💡 Save money without compromising quality care.

4. Stronger Parent-Child Connection

Being physically close to your child throughout the day allows for spontaneous hugs, quick check-ins, or nursing breaks. This proximity strengthens the bond between parent and child while still allowing parents to stay focused and productive. Parents are able to join their child for lunchtime, settle them for naps, or just come play for a few minutes between meetings.

❤️ Stay close. Stay connected.

5. Developmentally-Rich Play for Children

While you work, your child is engaged in meaningful, play-based learning activities that build social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Our team at The POP Center creates an environment where children feel safe, inspired, and supported—all while having fun.

🎨 Your child grows, explores, and thrives.
