With San Antonio childcare costs and hassles ever increasing, an innovative new company is looking to be a one-stop resource for working parents. CoPlay Cove will open at 2106 E Sonterra Blvd #L104 in summer 2026, bringing daycare and coworking services under one roof.

The concept comes from local couple Deepika Agrawal Mittal and Akash Mittal, both of whom have plenty on their plates. Akash is a family medicine physician and US Army officer, while Deepika has a background in healthcare IT and product management. Together, they are raising a family.

“We were inspired by something similar that was being launched in Dallas,” Deepika explains. “Our son was about eight months old [and we thought] this sounds like the best of both worlds.”

Unable to find a comparable daycare with a coworking space, the Mittals took matters into their own hands.“

My husband and I just looked at each other and said, ‘let’s build it,’” shares Deepika.

For parents, the concept provides flexible workspace solutions like private desks, networking areas, offices, and meeting rooms— all supported by HighSpeed WiFi, a community kitchen, lockers, and printing equipment. Entrepreneurs can also opt for virtual office services like business addresses, mail handling, and occasional access to the coworking spaces for physical interactions.

Kids, however, won’t be aware that so much adulting is going on. CoPlay has dedicated programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and grade schoolers that encourage both play and learning.

Deepika says the curriculum is shaped by an early childhood education professional with decades of experience and is not boxed into one methodology. It takes the “goodness” from Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies while encouraging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and STEAM (integrating Arts) literacy.

Of course, there is also some comfort for both children and parents in being in the same building. Nursing mothers can join their infants anytime they want. Older youngsters will have a more structured day, but the whole family can gather at an in-house café.

Deepika says the passion project is especially needed for working and military parents, saying San Antonio is a city that has always put family first.

“People are not close to the village,” she says. “That makes it important to have those community services.”

Deepika says that CoPlay Cove is not quite ready to release pricing info, but early bird memberships will be opened in the coming year. Locals can follow along with the concept’s progress on Instagram and other social media platforms.
