Drop-In Care

Need a little extra care now and then? Our Drop-In Care is available on an as-needed basis when space allows. Care is available for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, with limited spots offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

​

Requests can be made as early as 3 weeks ahead or as late as the morning you need care. There is no required advance notice, but the earlier you reach out, the better the chance we’ll be able to accommodate the day and hours you need.

​

Rates are $15–$22 per hour, depending on your child’s age and the number of hours needed.

​

Availability varies from day to day, and the exact time slot you need may not always be available. But please ask! We’ll always take a look at what we have available and do our best to accommodate your needs.

A Note About Drop-In Care

Drop-in care can be a wonderful option for some children, but it isn't the right fit for every child. After serving our community since 2010, we've learned that children acclimate to new people, classrooms, and routines in very different ways.

​

Some children jump right in without hesitation. Others may need two weeks of consistent, five-day-a-week attendance before they feel truly comfortable. 

​

If your child has a difficult time when attending only once or twice here and there, don't take that to mean they're not ready for childcare and education. It may simply mean they need more consistency and routine to feel secure. In those cases, a regular schedule may be a much better starting point than occasional drop-in care (even if it’s only initially, to help your child feel comfortable and build confidence in their new routine).
