Our Pod Family was created to empower working parents to carve their own path with the support of their community, their Pod.

Between our three locations — The Co-Lab, Tacoma Children’s School, and The Pod Works — we offer inclusive solutions to co-working, childcare, community bonding, event hosting, and more.

All made by parents, for parents.

Our Pod Family by Location

  • [Tacoma Children's School] is a gorgeous space. The way Mrs Natasha has set it up for the kids is inviting and full of life and activities. She is extremely kind and patient with the children, and even after meeting her for the first time, my kids are begging to go back!! Definitely worth the money, I'd trust her with my babies any day!

  • We've mainly visited The Co-Lab for affordable drop-in childcare and - WOW. They have been a reliable backup that our 7yo enjoys so much we sometimes just schedule him for a few hours at his request. We are both schoolteachers and recognize thoughtful early childhood learning environments when we see it, and The Co-Lab has it. We appreciate the calm, laid-back environment and skilled, attentive teachers and caregivers present. Looking forward to engaging with the Co-Lab in more ways in the future!

  • From Tacoma Children's School to The Co-Lab, my children have made the best of friends, created endless art, grown, and learned so much. Our Pod Family is just that to us... a family.

  • I've been going to The Pod Works for the last five months with my baby, and it has been such a wonderful experience for both of us! My baby gets the opportunity to explore in a baby-safe environment, play with new toys, and meet other kids. My sanity has been restored by being able to work outside the house, and the PodWorks is such a welcoming environment! I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you have a young child and work from home.

  • I just love going to The Pod Works! It is a wonderful community of Mompreneurs striving for similar goals. We have so much fun here and I love getting to spend time with my kids while I work!

  • When my son was born, I decided to keep him home with me while I ran my freelance business. This worked for a while, but eventually he needed more to do and I needed a separate space to get work done. Enter The Pod Works. We came for our free trial day and I was sold! There was so much for him to do, so many comfortable places for me to work and still keep an eye on him. I get so much work done while I'm there and it's way more affordable than childcare! My Pod Works membership has been one of my easiest parenting and business decisions.

  • [The Pod Works] has made it easier for me to get work done with two kiddos. Not only do they have space for parents to work, there are also a number of events going on within this space throughout the week and in connection with the other business. This has been a great space for our family.

  • The Co-Lab's kid friendly co-working, pay by the hour childcare, and a few days a week preschool...it has been a blessing to find this space. 100% worth it to get a membership.
