KidsZone Drop-In Hourly Childcare

Our Story

As a mother of two energetic children, with a husband who found himself leaving town for work or on duty with the Air Force Reserves at least once a month or months at a time when deployed, I found myself needing lots of babysitting. But the few babysitters, family, and friends I trusted to watch my kids had busy lives themselves. Often times I couldn’t find anyone to watch my kids, so I brought them with me as I went from the doctor’s office to the grocery store to the hair salon. And when I went back to school, it became even harder to find childcare with my classes and study time on top of all the other things I needed to get done.

I needed something that would allow me to drop off my kids for a few hours at a time, open early and stay open late, and even on the weekends so I could have a date night with my husband. My kids needed something that would be fun and provide them with activities and engaging play to keep them entertained, and furnish them with opportunities to socialize with other kids.

A drop-in hourly childcare is what I needed. This idea isn’t new but Greenville didn’t have one, so I set out to open one. As I researched all the different kinds of drop-in childcare centers I was excited that the idea was out there and spreading but disappointment because they could do so much more to engage the kids in imaginative and active play.

I wanted a drop-in hourly childcare center to be a place of highly energetic and imaginative play in a safe and secure environment surrounded by a fun, loving, and professional staff of care givers. A place that my kids would enjoy. A place I could trust to take care of my kids.
