KidsTown Drop-In Child Care Center

I am very grateful for the staff at Parker Kids Town.
My son is 5 years old, and he is on the Autism Spectrum. For him, that means he is non-​verbal and has yet to show any interest in potty training. He is strongly attached to routine and is hesitant to try new things or new places and he has an excellent memory for past experiences. If we try to return to a place he knows he doesn’t like, he «looses it.»
So, the fact that he thoroughly enjoys Kids Town is a sweet blessing.
My son may not be able to say it himself, but I can… THANK YOU Kids Town-​Parker, you are fantastic!

We are new to the area and skeptical of these places but the staff is really great and caring. The flexibility totally works for me that I can drop her off whenever I want and it doesn’t have to be planned. My daughter loves this place, unless she feels otherwise we will be using this place for a long time!

My daughter LOVES this place. She begs to go to Kids Town even when we don’t need a sitter. She thinks its like Monkey Business except they don’t allow parents in. Cracks me up. The staff is wonderful. They have a ton of activities and yummy snacks and meals (maybe not the healthiest, but for one night ever couple months it doesn’t bother me). I can’t say enough great things about this center. If you haven’t tried it or you arent’ usually ok leaving your kids with others — seriously — give it a chance — you won’t regret it!

Awsome staff. They are spot on when it comes to dealing with childern. The building is very clean, they handle allergies very well I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a safe place to drop off your child.

We’ve been very happy with KidsTown and take our kids there fairly frequently.
We feel comfortable leaving our kids there because there are many staff members and there are video cameras that record at all times for security reasons. It seems safer than hiring a babysitter to come to the house unless you know the sitter really well. With the drop-​in daycare, we’re not worried like we would be leaving our kids at home with a sitter who might invite friends over to the house, not keep a good eye on the kids, etc.
The director, Melinda, is there often and she’s always been friendly and professional. The staff seems good with the kids.
The prices are good, especially on Fridays when it’s $ 4/​hour per child.
We like that they’re open till 11pm on weekend nights.
The drop-​in daycare seems clean, as well.
The only negatives are the following. One is by state law, a drop-​in daycare cannot watch a child for more than 6 consecutive hours. So you’re limited to that if you have two events back to back in a day, or need to travel about an hour away for a wedding, for example. The other negative is that because of the number of kids, ours always seem to come down with a cold or stomach bug a couple of days after being at the daycare. I think even with how clean the place is, there’s no avoiding that. Little kids put their hands in their mouths, etc and you can’t do much about it.
Safety is most important to us, and this drop-​in daycare seems safe, trustworthy and convenient, so we keep returning.
