Drop-In Procedures Reservations should be made via e-mail at pattonf@prumc.org. Church members may reserve childcare spots one month in advance, while non-members may reserve two weeks in advance. All parents pay a yearly registration fee in June. There is a 2 hour minimum charge per day for infants, and a 2 ½ hour minimum per day for all others. Infants may attend 2 day per week; children in the toddler and older rooms may attend 3 days per week. We do not take standing reservations; however, we do keep a wait list for each day.
Please bring an extra set of clothing for each child. If diapers are necessary pack at least 3 disposables. Also, include a no-spill cup or bottle if your child cannot drink from a paper cup. Label everything including pacifiers, cups, bottles, diapers, extra clothes, jackets, etc. Please be sure that your child arrives in a clean diaper, and our staff will be sure he/she leaves in one.
Children will only be released to the parents or a designated caregiver. Every child must be free of fever, colds, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rash, on-going cough, runny nose, runny eyes, etc. for 24 hours before attending Drop-In.
