The Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has re-opened in the Lower Queen Anne/Uptown neighborhood, with the support of the Seattle Restored program.
The Inc. is a pioneering space which combines co-working with childcare, and prioritizes work-life balance during the early years of parenthood, when it can be the most difficult. With a focused workspace for caregivers and a safe, stimulating preschool environment for their children in the next room, The Inc. offers an innovative solution that addresses challenges faced by modern parents.
“Our reopening is an exciting next chapter for The Inc.,” said Sandra Helsley, current board member. “I credit The Inc. with providing the space to start my small business when my older child was a toddler. He loved going to The Inc. to learn and play, and I relished the opportunity for focused work time. We were both devastated when the pandemic forced The Inc. to close its doors, and I am ecstatic to be supporting other caregivers through its reopening.”
At The Inc., children attend morning summer camp in the brightly lit space, while caregivers work in the quiet, spacious room next door. The preschool curriculum focuses on exploration through play, promoting cognitive, social, and emotional development. In the afternoons, the space transitions into a unique co-working and co-play space. Parents can complete light work tasks while supervising their children as they engage in open playtime nearby, allowing them to maximize productivity. Fall program registration begins soon.
Amenities include air conditioning, high-speed Internet, large work tables, plenty of light, and lounge and kitchen areas for well-deserved breaks. The Inc.’s location is well positioned for easy commute and transit within Seattle, with nearby bus stops (D Line, 1, 8, and 32), easy street parking, and close proximity to nearby small businesses and grocery stores.
The Inc. invites interested individuals, caregivers, parents, and members of the media to visit their newly reopened space at 506 2nd Ave W, Seattle WA. The team is excited to provide personalized tours and answer any questions about their unique co-working and playschool concept.
