Hi, We’re ProducKIDvity

Canada’s first fully licensed childcare facility integrated with a professional co-working space.

We Know

Work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a daily challenge for parents. We know how hard it is to focus on a career while ensuring your child is in a safe, enriching environment. We also know that traditional childcare models don’t always fit the needs of modern working parents.

That’s why we created ProducKIDvity—Canada’s first licensed childcare and coworking space. A place where parents don’t have to choose between career success and quality time with their children.

We Love

We love seeing parents thrive without compromise. We love creating a space where children learn, explore, and grow while their parents build their businesses, pursue their passions, and advance their careers.

We love:

❤️ The power of community—because parenting (and entrepreneurship) is easier with support.
❤️ The excitement of new ideas—because innovation happens when parents are given the space to create.
❤️ The joy of childhood—because we believe learning should be playful, enriching, and full of wonder.

We Believe

We believe that parents deserve better—a space where they can work productively without sacrificing quality time with their children.

We believe that:

✔️ Flexible, high-quality childcare should be a standard, not a luxury.
✔️ Work should fit into life, not the other way around.
✔️ A strong community can change everything—supporting parents, children, and businesses alike.

At ProducKIDvity, we’re not just offering a service—we’re building a movement that redefines what it means to work and parent.

OUR MISSION

Empower Working Parents. Build Community. Invest in Educators

Our mission is to seamlessly integrate work and family life by providing flexible, high-quality childcare within a professional co-working environment. We believe community is everything, and that includes the educators who make it all possible. That’s why we invest in them—offering fair wages, professional growth, and a supportive workplace. When educators feel valued, children receive the best care. ProducKIDvity is more than a space—it’s a movement redefining modern parenthood, where families, businesses, and educators flourish together.

What We Stand For

  • Authenticity and Accountability

    We are true to ourselves, speak our truth, and are self-reflective in every interaction. We own the decisions we make and their outcomes.

  • Kindness, Always

    While we strive for excellence in every interaction. This extends to our families, colleagues, and our community, both online and off.

  • Innovation and Entrepreneurialism

    We don't believe in the status quo and pride ourselves on being trailblazers who sometimes ruffle a few feathers.

  • Community Involvement

    We lend a helping hand to make our community a better place. As a social enterprise, we invest in our community and participate wherever possible. 

OUR STORY

How it All Started

Our story begins with Alex Carnio, a driven entrepreneur, mother, and problem-solver who refused to accept the outdated notion that parents must choose between their careers and their children.

Like many working parents, Alex struggled to find a childcare solution that truly supported professional ambition. Traditional daycare hours didn’t align with business meetings. The guilt of being torn between work and parenting was constant. And finding a workspace that understood the complexities of parenthood? Nearly impossible.

So, she built her own solution. What started as an ambitious vision became Canada’s first licensed childcare facility designed alongside co-working—a seamless ecosystem where parents can focus on their careers, knowing their children are thriving just steps away.

As the demand for a better work-life model grew, Alex saw an opportunity to expand the mission. Enter Sarah Buettner—an executive leader, fellow mother, and passionate advocate for parents in business. With a shared vision, Sarah joined as a strategic partner and hospitality leader, bringing operational expertise and a deep understanding of the challenges working parents face.

Together, Alex and Sarah are building a national movement, ensuring that more families have access to the balance they deserve.
