Translation: "I love playing with my Ms Brit, Ms Jo, and Mr David. I’m having fun, learning rules, and staying safe. I cried the first few times I was here because this was new to me, but eventually I learned that this is a fun place to be. My mommy is so happy to have quiet time to get work and she checks on me throughout the day when she gets her coffee refills."

I’m a new mom that has been working from home since my child was 6 months. It was ideal at first, but now that he’s almost 2, it’s getting harder to get work done. I wasn’t ready to send my son to daycare. I just wished there was a safe place where my son could play while that also offered a quiet room for me to work. I found my answer in Itsy Bitsy. I have peace of mind knowing that my son and I are in the same building and I can check on him whenever I want. While I am working in the room next door, he is having fun and learning in a safe environment with friendly and experienced care takers. The parent working space is comfortable—with modern furniture, real plants, a peaceful decor, and just a few feet from my son— and allows me to focus and work more effectively. The play area is spacious with fun toys for the little ones, but doesn’t feel cluttered or overwhelming. I love all the natural light in both rooms and most of all, the service. The staff is friendly and caring, not just to the little ones, but to me as well. As a single mom, it feels great to have someone come in and offer me more coffee and ask if there’s anything I need, or give me updates on my child. I highly recommend this for a parent that’s not ready to send their child to daycare or that just needs some quiet time to...

Itsy Bitsy is a Godsend for our family. We were just finishing up a nanny share and tried a day care for 3 months and it just wasn’t a good fit for our 2 yr old. Itsy Bitsy is a great alternative for working parents who have flexibility to work from home. We are there three mornings a week on the 48hr/mo plan. The play makers there who care for the kids are awesome and very kind and patient. The ability to let your child play freely and do self-directed play was a huge benefit to our son. I get a lot more work done in the co-working space since it’s easier to focus there than at home with chores and other distractions staring you in the face. Plus you get bottomless coffee and snacks. I can also peek through the windows from the cafe area to see how my son is doing and watch him play for a minute. My son never wants to leave when it’s time to go which I take as a very good sign. The affordability of this childcare option is amazing and was about half the cost of what we were paying for a daycare with worse teacher to child ratios. Here they keep the ratio 4:1 so I know my kid will always get the attention they need. Can’t...

I've used Itsy Bitsy to fill in some childcare gaps on and off from the time my child was 4 months old. For families with some flexibility for remote work, this is an amazing option. Even though we attended irregularly (usually on the lowest monthly hours membership plan), the playmakers and staff always made my child feel right at home and me feel supported. Itsy Bitsy is a wonderful resource and fills a unique, child-centered and family-centered niche. For me the co-working space and reliability led to a lot less stress than piecing things together with babysitters, and avoided the distractions of home. It's also an extremely welcoming space and group - parents regularly nurse or pump, and many eat lunch on-site with their...
