Innovative San Antonio startup rethinks childcare for working parents
Dec 19, 2025
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 co
uple 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.
