One consequence of the recent economic crisis is that more parents are working from home. More new moms are staying in the workforce, and at-home moms who had decided to put their careers on-hold are opting to return to work. Furthermore, both men and women who have been retrenched are starting their own businesses from home to produce income.

Many parents believe they can raise their children while working from home, however the difficulties associated with this are a lot, and most find that something, whether it be the quality of their work, or the quality of their time spent parenting their children are affected. This can be exhausting and stressful for many. Traditional childcare choices tend to stray from the values of many eco-conscious parents, who uses attachment style parenting, which includes breastfeeding, positive discipline, babywearing and child-led learning.

One new program however, grants parents the ability to work in a peaceful space, while sharing childcare responsibilities in an eco-friendly play space. Heart Works Cooperative Parenting LLC is a shared workspace and childcare cooperative. Parents have the option to work either on their own laptop, or on one of the computer workstations in the facility. The work space boast of wireless internet, desks, tables, and sewing machines. All of the members, who are carefully screened, like-minded parents, using a lovingly planned structure patterned after the Montessori and Waldorf models for learning and discovery,
share in the care of children,
