The Froebelian Play Theory

 

Hi, my name is Karina. I am the Founding Director of Work+Play Hub and the proud mother of the most amazing boy.

 

Our story began when I saw my friend, a mother of two young kids, curving over a laptop balancing on her lap; a cup of coffee in her hand, and a look of urgency on her face. "I need to finish this job quickly", she said, in a very public, very noisy place. "My husband is home with the kids, but he needs to go to work soon, and I have nowhere else to go where there's reliable wifi".  At that moment, I thought of myself and my family. We were often in the same situation. So I half-jokingly said there should be a space for working mothers, for working parents, in the same situation. Her eyes lit up. A woman next to her, looking very much the same as my friend and with a baby girl on her hip, asked where 'that' place was and could I please give her the address. 

​

From that, this idea. This dream. A space for all to grow, connect, and thrive. Welcome!

 

 

We want to revolutionize the professional landscape by providing a shared office space dedicated to empowering parents.

 

We aim to create an inclusive environment that supports the unique challenges faced by working parents, ensuring they can pursue their careers without compromising family life.

 

Our commitment is to foster equality and contribute to a more balanced professional journey for all parents, especially mothers, in the workforce, fostering a community where every mother's aspirations are valued and realized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Froebel believed that “play is the highest expression of human development in childhood” and that, through play, children construct their understanding of the world by direct experience with it. 

 

We have partnered with the University of Edinburgh's Froebelian Futures Programme to deliver the very best level of care to little ones while their parents use the coworking area.

​

Our supervised Play Area is staffed by qualified, DBS checked staff who will ensure your children are engaged, nurtured and active in age-appropriate settings and activities.
