FAQs for finding a drop-in daycare near you

Drop-in daycare is a helpful alternative for parents who need occasional, short-term child care, or often need care without much notice. It provides a safe and supervised environment for children across many age ranges. Different drop-in daycares may offer different services such as arts and crafts projects, snack time, music or dance activities, or even field trips! These drop-in centers are sometimes open late into the evening, and they usually require no reservation beforehand, making drop-in daycare a fantastic last-minute solution.

Drop-in daycare provides families with increased flexibility and convenience in child care arrangements. The as-needed basis without having to commit to a full-day or multi-day program is also often more affordable than other types of child care, while still providing access to quality care in a safe, structured environment. Additionally, drop-in daycare centers are great for parents who need occasional child care when their regular sitter is unavailable.

Figuring out how to find a good drop-in daycare center is easy with the help of Care.com. You can compare profiles for all drop-in daycares near you, can check out their rates, and can even read reviews from other parents.

Generally, drop-in daycares are open on weekdays and some weekends, between the hours of 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM. It is important to contact your local drop-in daycare provider to confirm the exact hours of operation, as they may vary.
