Our daycare centers have available slots for families in need of emergency child care for their little ones. Having a backup plan for reliable childcare is critical to ensure you can still make it to work when needed.

Child care when you need it

Our Drop-in Care sessions include:

  • Healthy Meals: Free breakfast, lunch, and snack in the afternoons if the child is present during the meal time

  • Developmentally appropriate: Activities are designed to match the age and developmental level of each child.

  • Outdoor play: Safe playground to exercise gross motor skills and unwind with friends after homework

EMERGENCY CARE

If your typical child care routine is thrown off, we are here for you! Our backup care can help you avoid the disruption of taking unpaid time off work or missing important deadlines if your regular childcare provider becomes unavailable.

School closures

Need child care when your child's elementary school is closed? Using our Drop-in sessions as backup child care can ensure that your child is safe and well-cared for no matter what happens.
