Itsy Bitsy Play

Itsy Bitsy Play is a unique coworking and childcare facility that combines professional workspace for parents with high-quality early childhood education and play opportunities for children. Located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood on North Western Avenue, this innovative concept allows parents to work productively while their children are cared for by trained early childhood education providers called “playmakers.”

The indoor playground features a natural play-inspired design with age-appropriate equipment and activities. The playcare service is available for children and operates with flexible membership plans designed to be more affordable than traditional childcare. The playmakers nurture and care for children in a safe, engaging environment focused on developmental play and early learning.

The coworking space offers comfortable work areas where parents can focus on their careers, complete projects, or handle business needs while remaining on-site. A cafe provides coffee and refreshments for working parents. The facility is designed to give parents the freedom to invest in their careers while ensuring their children are happy, safe, and well-cared for in close proximity.

In addition to daily playcare and coworking services, Itsy Bitsy Play hosts birthday parties, baby showers, and other private events. The facility maintains a robust calendar of community events including story time, music time, and other scheduled activities. Private event packages are available for families wanting to rent the space for celebrations. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with weekend hours varying and posted on their social media channels. The facility is available for children and requires socks for all participants.
