The Best Coworking Spaces with Childcare for San Diego Mompreneurs Who Want It All

As a mom of two under two and a business owner in La Jolla, I know firsthand what it means to crave presence and productivity in the same breath. I’ve answered client emails during nap time, edited sessions while babywearing, and made big business decisions with a toddler at my feet. Balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood isn’t just about time management—it’s about heart.

For the many mompreneurs across San Diego—especially in neighborhoods like La Jolla, Encinitas, Coronado, Mission Hills, and Rancho Peñasquitos—finding that balance can feel impossible. But there’s a quiet revolution happening. Coworking spaces designed specifically with working moms in mind are making it possible to show up for your business without compromising closeness with your little ones.

Here are some of the most supportive coworking spaces with childcare in San Diego that understand what it’s like to be a mom and a visionary.


The Well Community for Women – Centered, Connected, Intentional

Located in central San Diego, The Well is a coworking sanctuary that nurtures both the inner and outer work of mompreneurs. Onsite childcare means you can focus deeply, knowing your child is nearby in a safe, loving space. Their community events, wellness workshops, and supportive culture make this more than just a workspace—it’s a movement.

Ideal for creative entrepreneurs, coaches, and women-led brands looking for community and clarity.

Lullabar – Where Lattes Meet Luxury and Little Ones Are Loved

In Carlsbad, Lullabar offers a dreamy blend of café vibes, spa energy, and mom-focused amenities. Their drop-in childcare lets you take a Zoom call, edit content, or enjoy a latte—guilt-free. With wellness classes and parenting workshops woven into the experience, Lullabar feels like a gift to your mind and your brand.

Perfect for moms who want flexibility, intention, and a bit of indulgence between client calls.

Fandory Factory – Creative, Colorful, Family-Friendly

Over in Rancho Bernardo, Fandory Factory gives you the creative buzz of a startup space with the support network of a mom group. Their vibrant, flexible coworking model (including drop-ins!) is a godsend for unpredictable nap schedules. With community events and play-based childcare, it’s a welcoming space for you and your toddler.

A solid pick for moms running creative businesses, digital brands, or launching a new idea.


The New Haven – Rooted in Faith, Built for Women

If full time childcare in a Montessori enviroment and dedicated work time are cornerstones of your personal and business life, The New Haven is a gentle and grounded place to grow. With built-in childcare, educational programs, and community support, this coworking space gives you the tools to thrive professionally.

Especially fitting for full time working moms and mompreneurs looking for proximity with your child and professional momentum in Liberty Station, Point Loma.


Yalla – A Montessori Vibe for Modern Working Moms

Nestled near Balboa Park, Yalla is a Reggio-inspired coworking space with a strong focus on early childhood education. It’s a quiet, modern, beautifully designed space where you can build your business while your child learns just steps away. Think modern interiors, a calm work environment, and a values-aligned community of parents.

Ideal for moms who value presence, early education, and elevated design.


Why These Spaces Matter

These coworking environments are more than functional—they are transformational. They exist so that women like us—mompreneurs, creators, caregivers—don’t have to choose between building a brand and being with our babies.

When I built my photography studio in La Jolla, I did it with my sons strapped to my chest. Every image I create is rooted in that lived experience of motherhood: the tenderness, the sacrifice, the strength. And I know so many of you are building your dreams with babies in tow. You deserve spaces that see you, support you, and set you up to succeed.

These coworking spaces help dissolve the pressure to “do it all” and instead give you space to be it all—in a way that’s human, balanced, and sustainable.

Final Thoughts

As a luxury brand photographer serving San Diego’s powerhouse moms, I see the magic that happens when women are supported. When we feel confident, connected, and seen—not just as professionals, but as mothers too—we don’t just build businesses. We build legacies.

So whether you’re designing your first offer, relaunching a brand, or taking your content creation to the next level, know this: you can be present with your kids and still grow something extraordinary.

And these coworking spaces? They’re here to help you do just that.
