How drop-in works

Register once, then reserve a time

Four steps, and only the first one takes more than a minute.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Register once

    Fill in your family's registration: your contacts, the adults who may pick up, and what we need to know about your child. It takes one sitting, and you do it only once.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Reserve a time

    Choose a block, or the hours inside one, for the day you need. Reserve a day ahead when you can; if there is room on the day, we take walk-ins.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Arrive

    A teacher meets you at the room door and you sign your child in. Tell us anything that helps tonight, like a nap, a bottle or a favorite book.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Pick up

    Come when your block ends. We hand your child to an adult on your pickup list, and you sign them out.

An evening block

What a block is like

The times move with the children. The order stays the same.

  1. 01
    Early evening

    Step 1: Arrival

    A teacher meets you at the room door. Your child hangs a coat on a hook, you sign in, and there is time for a hug.

  2. 02
    Early evening

    Step 2: Play

    Blocks, books, dough and paint. Babies have the play mat, and a teacher stays on the floor with them.

  3. 03
    Evening

    Step 3: Dinner

    Dinner is at the long table, and babies eat beside it on their own schedule. Tell us about allergies when you register.

  4. 04
    Evening

    Step 4: Wash up

    Everyone washes hands at a sink built for small people, and the night's theme begins.

  5. 05
    Late evening

    Step 5: Quiet time

    Cots for the babies, mats and a story for everyone else. The lights go down and the room slows.

  6. 06
    Close of the block

    Step 6: Pickup

    A teacher walks each child to the door, hands them to an adult on your list and says goodnight.

In the room

Goodbyes, taken slowly

At the door

Stay for a block if you like. We never rush a goodbye, and we text you when your child has settled.

Every arrival

Words with a teacher

Tell the teacher how the day went and what helps tonight. We write it down and pass it on at the next block.

Hands busy

Paint, clay, water and sand at the table. Something is always ready for small hands.
