Working parents are at a breaking point. Balancing careers, childcare, self-care, and everyday life feels impossible, because, in many ways, it is. Haven is redefining what family care looks like, giving parents real support through a fully licensed childcare model that seamlessly integrates workspaces, fitness, and wellness.
With locations in Rhode Island and New Jersey and now expanding nationwide through franchising, Haven is more than a daycare—it’s a complete ecosystem designed to help parents thrive.
I had a chance to learn more in this interview with Britt Riley, CEO and Founder of Haven.
Why is it time for a new childcare model?
The traditional childcare model presents challenges for many working parents, often making it difficult to balance professional responsibilities with family life. The pandemic further exposed these struggles, highlighting the need for more flexible, supportive options. Modern families require solutions that integrate childcare, work, and well-being rather than forcing them into separate, competing priorities.
What sets Haven apart from traditional childcare options?
Haven isn’t just childcare—it’s a community. We designed our spaces with parents in mind, creating a seamless blend of work, wellness, and care. Unlike traditional childcare centers, which operate on rigid schedules and outdated philosophies, Haven offers flexible scheduling, beautifully designed spaces that parents actually want to be in, and an ecosystem that supports both parents and children. Instead of dropping your child off and rushing to find a workspace elsewhere, you can settle in just steps away—knowing they’re in an enriching, loving environment designed for their growth.
What are the advantages of having a workspace and fitness space in the same location?
Parents, especially moms, are constantly putting themselves last. We know that when parents are given the space to focus on their work and well-being, they become better caregivers. Haven removes the friction of everyday logistics—no more scrambling to fit in a workout, no more feeling guilty for taking a work call. You can get things done, recharge, and be there for your child all in one place. It’s about balance, not burnout.
How can Haven help parents reduce burnout?
Burnout isn’t just about being busy—it’s about being unsupported. At Haven, we’re tackling burnout at its core by creating an environment where parents feel seen, valued, and empowered. It’s not just about providing childcare; it’s about providing relief. A moment to breathe. A place where you don’t have to do everything alone, we give parents the space to focus on their careers, their health, and their families—all while knowing they have a village behind them. "
