Hourly Drop-In Care

High-Quality, Flexible Hourly Drop-in Daycare

Wanna Play Playcare’s hourly drop-in child care programs are open to children from 18 months to 12 years old. We’re the busy parent’s solution to finding high-quality, learning-focused drop-in daycare that’s available when you need it. You should never be paying for child care you don’t use, and our bill-to-the-minute system means you’re only paying for the care you need – and not a minute more!

You’re ready to use our drop-in child care services as soon as you register. You can always make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee a spot for your child, or, if you need last-minute help, feel free to drop by or call to see if a spot is available. We want to make child care stress-free for you and your child!

If you’ve ever gotten stuck in gridlock traffic when commuting from work to daycare pickup, you know how stressful this situation can be. Wanna Play offers extended evening and weekend hours so that you don’t have to worry about making it to pick up in time. You can even do a grocery run, fit in a workout class, or get some errands done after work, all while your child is playing, doing their homework, and even eating one of our kid-friendly dinners!

Play with a Purpose

Wanna Play Playcare believes that the best way for children to learn and grow is through joyful, purposeful play. Our philosophy is informed by early childhood development experts and our own firsthand experience. We fill our playcare centers with activities that will spark your child’s curiosity and help them discover their inner potential for learning. By creating a fun, encouraging environment, we show kids that learning can be fun and get them ready to jump into kindergarten with both feet!

“Play is the beginning of knowledge.”

– George Dorsey

Some of our favorite activities include:

  • Building with blocks and loose parts
  • Playing ball sports
  • Yoga and dance
  • Dramatic play
  • Arts and crafts
  • No-bake cooking exercises
  • Story-time
  • Board games and video games
  • Outdoor play
  • And so much more!
Flexible Infant Care

Wanna Play also offers flexible infant care services for babies from 6 weeks to 17 months. Our infant care experts know how to care for infants in all developmental stages, and we craft a curriculum of activities that will help their brains grow and develop their motor skills and language acquisition.

We know how hard it can be for new parents to be away from their babies, and we welcome you to call and check in on your little ones whenever you need to. We’ll happily give you an update on their day and let you know how your little one is doing.

We ask that infants be dropped off with extra diapers, a change of clothes, and a sealable plastic bag in case of any soiled garments.

Due to our limited nursery spots, we highly recommend that you make a reservation for infant care. Reservations will not be held pat the reservation time, and no-shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the time of the appointment may lose their reservation privileges.
