You know those folks who have Grandma always available?
Ready to babysit on a moment’s notice?
Well, we don’t know any either!
That’s why we started drop-in care. To offer parents someone to help them out when they need it most.
Drop off your child when that impromptu meeting gets scheduled, when you have an appointment, when the babysitter cancels for your once-a-month date night, or for when you get called to cover that shift.
Think of us as your cool Grandma that you actually CAN call any time.
Really? I can just drop them off?
Yes! Drop-in care is exactly what it sounds like. It’s short-term childcare available right when you need it.
No planning a month ahead.
No lengthy enrollment process.
No minimum commitment!
Simply fill out this 5-minute registration form, select your day and time, and show up!
(You can drop by and register in person, but spots are limited and not guaranteed!)
Fun for your child. Peace of mind for you.
Because it’s short-term care, we’ve designed our Drop-in to be unstructured, free play environment that’s both safe and clean. All our staff have an accredited state background check with CPR and First Aid certification.
