FAQs About Amherst Drop-In Daycares
-
What is a drop-in daycare?
- For those moments when regular childcare arrangements are off the table, drop-in childcare options provide a seamless solution. Catering to parents who need a reliable care setting for their children on a non-regular basis, these programs range from hour-specific to full-day care.

How does drop-in daycare work
- For most drop-in daycare programs, you need to register your child in advance. Then, once you are enrolled, you can 'drop-in' when you need to. You may need to call ahead each day to ensure there is availability or book your spot online. Drop-in daycares are great when your regular childcare falls through or if you just need a few hours of care here and there.
