Hourly Care Information
Our program is pleased to be able to offer hourly care to eligible patrons. Hourly care is designed to provide intermittent child care for families who may have a medical appointment, want to work out at the Fitness Center, or want to have some time to themselves. Both Child Development Centers offer hourly care; however, we do not offer hourly care for infants between 6 weeks and 6 months as this type of care is a very difficult adjustment for the infants.
Making reservations for hourly care is simple. Reservations are accepted on a first come first served basis. Parents may make reservations at either Child Development Center. The phone number for the Main Child Development Center is 554-9572 or 554-9573. The phone number for the Annex Child Development Center is 556-7460.
Parents may make reservations up to 30 days in advance. Reservations for hourly care for a medical appointment will be accepted anytime after the appointment is established. There is a two hour minimum for hourly care reservations.
Parents are encouraged to bring their child in either before or after lunch or after naptime. Children who arrive at the center during lunch and naptime often have a hard time adjusting to the Child Development Center because the other children are resting.
If the hourly care spaces are unavailable, parents may choose to be placed on a waiting list. The Child Development Center staff will call families on the waiting list in the order received if a space becomes available.
The Child Development Center staff can answer any additional questions regarding our hourly care program.
