Drop-In Care at Hello Sunshine Child Academy.
At Hello Sunshine Child Academy, we understand that family schedules can be unpredictable and sometimes last-minute childcare needs arise. Our Drop-In Care program offers a flexible solution for parents who need occasional care — whether it’s for a few hours, half a day, or a full day.
This service provides the same quality, safety, and warmth as our regular program, but with the freedom to use it only when you need it. Children enjoy a safe environment, age-appropriate activities, and personalized attention without the need for a long-term commitment.
Whether you need to cover a work shift, attend an appointment, handle school closures, or simply take some personal time, our Drop-In Care is a reliable option that combines flexibility and high-quality care.
