Envisioned by local entrepreneur and mom of three, Danielle Huppler, the workspace is equipped with livestream video access to all childcare rooms, high-speed internet, soundproof meeting pods, a community kitchen with complimentary coffee and a water fill station, and private cubicles.
“As a young mother, I often found myself searching for a space where my children could learn and play safely while I had the freedom to focus, but it simply didn’t exist,” Huppler said. “Work & Stay is the solution I once needed, created for today’s parents who are balancing professional responsibilities with the demands of raising young children.”
