What it takes to set up a successful coworking space with childcare

At the playground, Rothschild met other moms who were planning to take five to seven years away from their careers to raise their children.

"There is this untapped intellectual talent sitting on the sideline, and the world has pressing issues they could be solving," Rothschild says. "I dreamed up this space where I could get my best work done and show the world I was a productive member of society, and my daughter would still be on-site."

But it was really two businesses — coworking and childcare — merged into one; neither has the highest margins. So she approached an existing coworking space in San Francisco called NextSpace, and the team there loved her childcare partnership idea. Now she's the CEO of NextSpace, and credits the right time, location and partnership to the success of the program, called NextKids.

Rothschild's NextKids has become the gold standard in coworking spaces with childcare. Not only is it a full-service coworking space with "everything you can think of," but it also offers top-notch care for babies and toddlers, complete with organic snacks, compostable diaper service, music classes and full documentation of a child's activities each day.

"Everything is covered for you and your child for the entire month in one fee," she says.
