What is a drop-in daycare?

How does drop-in daycare work
- To take advantage of drop-in daycare services, it's important to first complete the registration process for your child. Once enrolled, you gain the flexibility to use the daycare on an as-needed basis. However, it's advisable to check availability in advance—either by calling or booking online—to secure your spot. This type of daycare is especially beneficial for parents in need of occasional childcare solutions or when unexpected gaps in regular childcare arise.
