Discover Sunny Side Drop-In Care

Drop-in/short-term child care is defined by law in G.S. 110-86(2)(d)(d1) as a child care arrangement where care is provided while parents participate in activities that are not employment related, and where the parents are on the premises or otherwise easily accessible. These arrangements are available in health spas, health clubs, bowling alleys, shopping malls, resort hotels, or other similar locations. Drop-in/short-term care childcare would be used by parents who need care while they occasionally run errands or participate in leisure activities. The operation must be able to reach the parent by telephone, cell phone, or pager, etc., if they are not on the premises. The parent must be able to get back to the program within 15 minutes.
