Why Back to School is the Perfect Time for Parents to Use Coworking at Workbar

As summer fades and the school bells ring once more, parents are preparing for the season of carpooling, homework help, and juggling extracurriculars. While kids are heading back to classrooms and getting into a new routine, parents are trying to do the same at work, looking for ways to balance their own work commitments with family responsibilities. While the transition from summer to school can sometimes feel like a chaotic bummer, Workbar is here to make it a little bit, ok A LOT, easier. Here’s why back to school is the perfect time for parents to embrace coworking at Workbar.

A Fresh Start for Productivity

The start of the school year symbolizes a new beginning—not just for students but for parents, too! With the kids back in school, it’s time to refocus on work and create a routine that fits the whole family. Workbar offers flexible workspace solutions that can help you focus and maximize productivity. Whether you need a (finally!) quiet space for heads-down work or a collaborative spot for brainstorming sessions about something other than what you’re having for dinner, Workbar’s neighborhoods provide the spaces you need to work your day, your way. 

Flexibility to Match Your New Schedule

Back-to-school also means back-to-sports, back-to-activities, and back-to-parents juggling it all. Your kids might have different drop-off and pick-up times or go to school in different towns. Extracurricular activities might have you driving all over Greater Boston! Workbar’s flexible membership options are designed to accommodate the reality of parenthood. With the ability to choose from various membership plans—ranging from part-time access Hybrid memberships to full-time Dedicated Desks, you can align your work environment with your new schedule, making it easier to balance professional and personal commitments. Plus, we’re all over Greater Boston too! Look how these common scenarios from some of our members show how Workbar supports the real work-life balance.

  • “My son goes to school in Weston, but often has lacrosse games at peer schools north of Boston during the week. I’m able to drop him off at school, then head to Workbar Arlington for the day, which is in very close proximity to my son’s games. And on days when he has home games, I go to Workbar Needham, which is just a short drive away from Weston.”
  • “I have young kids, and there are always lots of opportunities to volunteer in the classroom, but the times are always in the middle of the work day. Having a Workbar membership allows me to pop in and out of work without getting bogged down at home.”
  • “We live clear on the opposite side of town from my kids’ school, and with rush hour traffic, it can take me a long time to get there to pick them up from their after-school programs if I come from home. Luckily, there are two Workbar locations that are closer, and I alternate between the two to be closer to pick-up without almost 30 minutes of traffic.”

Enhanced Focus with Fewer Distractions

When the kids are home for summer break, working from home isn’t ideal for obvious reasons. With kids around all day and your backyard oasis or local park calling your name, it’s hard to stay focused. Even when the kids are back to school, the distractions of home can really reduce productivity. Workbar is here to give you a productivity boost you’ll soon rely on. Workbar’s professional settings offer a dedicated and distraction-free atmosphere that can help you dive back into work with renewed focus and efficiency.

As the school year begins and routines shift, it's the perfect opportunity for parents to re-evaluate their work environments and make changes for the better. Workbar provides a flexible, professional, and supportive space that can help you navigate the back-to-school season with greater ease. By leveraging Workbar's resources and community, you can enhance your productivity, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and embrace the new season with confidence. So, as you prepare for the school year ahead, let Workbar be your partner in achieving a harmonious blend of work and family life.
