Are there options for parents who need care overnight?
For parents who work overnight or night-shifts, some providers offer overnight childcare. Typically, overnight daycares are open around the clock to accommodate parents working non-traditional hours and other providers may offer flexible scheduling options to families who need it.
Overnight Childcare Program
Overnight daycare programs provide licensed child care during evening and overnight hours, typically for families with non-traditional or overnight work schedules. These programs include a structured evening routine with dinner, quiet activities, bedtime preparation, and supervised sleep in a safe, child-friendly environment. Children are cared for by trained staff throughout the night and may also receive support with things like tooth brushing, bedtime stories, or homework. Facilities are equipped with sleeping arrangements that meet health and safety standards, and parents can choose to pick up their child in the early morning or after a full night of rest.
