As a work-at-home mom, I can certainly attest to the fact that the work-life balance can be a struggle.  I love that I can be around the kids when they get home from school.  And I super-enjoy that no one in my office can judge me for wearing pajamas most of the day.  Frankly, Molly-the-dog just doesn’t care.

To back me up, I have a fabulous nanny that is second-mom to the boys.  I don’t know what I’d do without her.  But, we give her Friday off, and my clients don’t always do the same for me.  On those occasions, and for many other reasons, as outlined below, we use drop-in childcare like KidsPark.

Can you relate? If so, you’ll be delighted to learn about KidsPark childcare centers.  Offering hourly child care days, evenings and weekends, with hours till midnight (!!!) on Fridays and Saturdays, KidsPark gives flexibility to all families, regardless of whether you need daily care or a date night.

The service is available, with no reservations, for children 2- 11 years old; a few centers accept children as young as 12 months!  All KidsPark teachers have an Early Childhood background and pass all background checks. Their preschool curriculum includes the Arts (music, drama, art, dance), Math Concepts and Science.

Wondering how you’ll use KidsPark?

7 reasons why drop-in childcare is amazing

1. Your nanny won’t work everyday.  As much as you’ve begged, for some reason, she insists on getting the weekends off.  😉

You haven’t been on a date with your spouse since your first trimester.

3. Your teeth need cleaning.  The only thing worse than going to the dentist is going to the dentist for a cleaning with three kids in tow.

4. You can’t find your earplugs.

5. You need a nap, darnit.  By the pool.  With a cold beer and a magazine.

6.You can’t bring the baby to your 2nd grader’s end-of-class party.
