Parent's Day Out Programs

When I was pregnant with my second son I began to worry that he would not have any one-on-one mommy time like my first son did and I started to look at daycares as the first child wouldn't be in preschool for another year. But I didn't want fulltime care and it is a rare daycare that allows a child to attend for only one day a week.

I was so excited when I heard a mother talking about Parent's Day Out I practically cornered her in the rec center to get the details. I was pleasantly surprised at how many programs are available in the area. Was I the only one unaware? I must be, because the openings go fast and some Day Outs have a waiting list.

Stay-at-home moms/dads need a break sometimes and a Parent's Day Out can be a savior. Most programs are 9am-3pm, four to five days a week but you generally sign up for one day a week.

Costs range from $25-50 for registration and average $100-130/month for care.
