Flexible childcare when you need it
Drop-In Care is our flexible childcare option for parents who need occasional, short-term care without a full-time commitment. Your child enjoys the same safe, nurturing environment and engaging activities as our full-time students—including arts and crafts, storytime, outdoor play, and interactive learning experiences tailored to your child's age group.

Please pack these items for your child
12 months to 7 years old.
Secure entry systems, regular sanitization, trained staff supervision, and low teacher-to-child ratios ensure your child receives individual attention in a safe environment.
We cannot accept sick children (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or contagious illness). Current immunizations are required.
Please notify us as early as possible if you need to cancel. No-shows may affect future booking priority.
We reserve the right to refuse service for any reason.
Drop-in care is subject to daily availability based on staff-to-child ratios and classroom capacity. Unlike full-time enrollment, drop-in does not reserve a dedicated spot. Families needing guaranteed daily care should inquire about full-time or part-time enrollment.
