Making time for yourself can be one of the hardest parts of being a parent. Between work, school schedules and everything else life throws your way, finding time to exercise often means finding someone to watch the kids first.
That's why we offer onsite childcare during select classes at Core Collective. While you take class, your child spends time in a dedicated play space with one of our caregivers.
Whether you're easing back into exercise after having a baby, staying active during pregnancy or simply looking for a routine that fits your family's schedule, our classes can be modified to meet you where you are.
Step by step
How childcare works
Step 1
Find a class with childcare
Childcare runs during select class times. Check the childcare schedule to see which classes currently have childcare available.
Step 2
Reserve your class
Book your own spot in class through WellnessLiving the same way you normally would.
Step 3
Reserve childcare separately
Childcare is reserved on its own and is subject to availability. Booking your class does not automatically reserve a childcare spot (or vice versa!).
Step 4
Arrive with a little extra time
Give yourself a few extra minutes to get your child settled in the play space before class begins.
Step 5
Take class
Your child stays in the childcare space with a caregiver while you're in class in the studio. Keep your phone nearby - we'll text if your child needs you.
Booking your class does not reserve a childcare spot
Childcare is reserved separately from your class and is subject to availability. Advance reservations are required for every childcare session, and spots are limited by our 1:6 caregiver-to-child ratio - so please book childcare as early as you can, especially for popular class times. If childcare is already full for a class time, try another childcare class time or text or call us at 734.999.0372.
Childcare schedule
Which classes have childcare?
Childcare runs during select class times, which may change slightly from week to week. The childcare schedule is kept live in WellnessLiving so you always see current availability rather than a list that goes stale.
Cost
Childcare rates
Childcare is paid per session, on top of your class or membership. Packs can be shared between siblings.
Childcare is available to anyone taking a scheduled class - there's no separate membership required. See pricing and memberships for class options.
Come prepared
What to bring
- A bottle or snack if your child may need one - we don't provide snacks or meals.
- Diapers and wipes; parents handle diaper changes and toileting.
- A comfort item, if that helps your child settle in.
- A change of clothes for younger children.
- Your phone, so you can be reachable by text during class.

Safety & supervision
Who's watching my child?
A dedicated play space
Childcare happens in a dedicated play space at the studio with age-appropriate toys, games and activities.
Carefully selected caregivers
Our childcare team is carefully selected, and all complete training in our childcare policies and procedures.
A 1:5 ratio
We maintain a maximum caregiver-to-child ratio of 1:5 so every child gets attentive care.
You stay on site
You're in class in the same building the whole time, so you're never more than a room away.
We'll text you if needed
If your child needs a diaper change, help with toileting or simply needs you, we'll send you a text so you can step out of class and come back when you're ready.
Cancellation
If your plans change
Childcare reservations may be canceled up to 24 hours before the scheduled session. Cancellations made within 24 hours forfeit that childcare session, except in cases of child illness.
Cancel your class in WellnessLiving as you normally would, and cancel the childcare reservation separately so the spot can go to another family.
Why it matters
Fewer things standing between you and class
The hardest part of a workout routine is usually the logistics. Childcare during select classes means one less thing to arrange, so the membership you're paying for actually gets used - and movement can stay part of an ordinary week.
Book class, then book childcare
New here? Your first class is $15. Reserve your childcare spot at the same time so both are set before you arrive.
