Glow WorK: Co-working & Childcare

Welcome to Glow WorK: a co-working & childcare program at Glow Worm! Open to kids age 12 months to 5 years, parents stay on site while their littles are cared for in our classroom with our trusted, on-staff childcare providers. Glow WorK begins on August 4, 2025. Sessions and memberships are now available for booking and purchase below!

We’ve created Glow Work after years of observing parents in our space who need a little more support or free time away from their young kids.

The ones who are trying to get a bit of work done, but keep getting interrupted. The ones who want to meet up with a friend and catch up, but keep getting interrupted. The ones who want to read a book while their kiddo plays, but keep getting interrupted. You see the theme here, right?

So how does this work?

Drop your kids in the classroom and stay on site. Bring your laptop, bring a book, sit and crochet, meet up and have coffee with a friend, or enjoy a meal from our cafe in peace. Your time is yours and we’ll only bug you if it’s urgent or your kiddo needs a diaper change or feeding.

Our rate for one child is just $35 per 2 hour session and includes unlimited drip coffee & fiber internet. Add a sibling for $10/session extra per sibling. Co-working sessions are booked in 2 hour increments and you can book up to 3 sessions per day!

Members & bulk pass holders get perks like cafe & bakery, retail & private rental discounts.

Glow Work is co-led by Katie Read & Sydney Ross. With Katie on the caregiver side and Sydney on the childcare side, families are in great hands knowing that they are taken care of and supported. Our childcare assistant is Zoe Haynes, a Glow Worm veteran employee & experienced and passionate childcare provider.

Kids will enjoy arts & crafts, free play, music and movement, story time, sensory play, and more. Parents will have access to open air workspaces with free AT&T fiber internet access and unlimited drip coffee. Soundproof pods and a private meeting space will be available in the future at an additional rate.
