Drop-in child care can be an invaluable tool for parents to use when they need a few hours of flexibility or respite. Drop-in care centers provide safe, supervised environments staffed by experienced caregivers, in which children and toddlers can spend time while their parents are either working or just taking a little break. Drop-in care makes it possible for parents to run errands and attend appointments without having to scramble to arrange one-off child care arrangements.
