Since opening in 2008,
Recess quickly became a community where parents, children & caregivers can enjoy play, learning and a little dose of sanity.
We feel incredibly lucky to have won accolades from local & national organizations. This organization started as a dream - thank you for helping us to make it a reality.

“Imagine a world in which we all had the option to take our children to work. What a game changer that would be for anyone who doesn’t have a regular job with regular childcare. Freelancers, part-timers, work-from-homers, the list goes on. Which is why coworking spaces with in-house childcare are an act of genius.” Recess Collective is listed as one of the best co-working spaces for parents!
