Childcare
you stay, they play
Little ones in caring hands
Drop-in childcare for ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Drop-in play by the hour while you work, relax, or get a treatment, and you're steps away the whole time.
Our childcare team is in the play space with them. You're steps away. Parents and caregivers stay on site while children are in the play space.
- Child / Toddler Care — 1 hour
- $15
- Infant Care — 1 hour
- $18
Our teachers, with you close by
Our staff are inside the play space with the children, leading arts & crafts, learning stations, story time, snack time and free play. This isn't a play café; parents and caregivers stay elsewhere on site.
Babies get their own room. Infant care is booked separately from child and toddler care, so the littlest ones have a space of their own.
And you never leave the building. Parents and caregivers stay on site, whether that's in the spa, at the coffee bar or in the parent lounge.

The play space
Book a session in the play space, then enjoy a massage, knock out emails in the parent lounge, or simply sip your latte in peace. You're on site the whole time. That's the whole idea.
Potty training? Please send your little one in a pull-up.
How a visit works
- Step 1
Book a time
Choose anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours, weekdays 9am to 5pm. We save a card on file, but you aren't charged when you book.
- Step 2
Settle them in
On your first visit, a parent may come into the play space for up to 5 minutes to meet the staff and help their child settle in. Parents can't stay for the session; after that, enjoy the spa, coffee bar or parent lounge while remaining on site. Potty training? Please send your little one in a pull-up.
- Step 3
Take your time
Spa, nails, coffee or a quiet hour of work in the parent lounge. You pay at checkout when you collect them.
