Now offering drop-in care
Drop-in care, for the days you need it
Not every family needs full-time care. When your schedule is irregular — a shift changes, an appointment comes up, school is out — our home is here, when space permits, with the same familiar faces and the same loving care.

What drop-in care means here
Drop-in care is occasional, as-needed childcare — a way to use quality care for a day or two without committing to a full-time spot. At In His Care, drop-in care is available at our nationally accredited family child care home when space permits, and can be scheduled up to one week in advance.
It's the same warm home, the same Christ-centered day, and the same degreed teachers your child would have full-time — just for the days you need it. Because a family home keeps a small, licensed number of children, availability varies, so a quick call is always the fastest way to check.
- Reserve up to one week ahead, space permitting
- Ages 6 weeks through 5 years
- Breakfast, lunch & snacks included on drop-in days too
- No guessing on availability — we'll tell you honestly when there's room
Flexible by design
Who drop-in & part-time care is for
Irregular or rotating shifts
Work that changes week to week, so full-time care doesn't fit — but some days you still need trusted hands.
Appointments & errands
A doctor's visit, a closing, a long to-do list — a few covered hours in a place you trust.
School breaks & teacher days
When school is out but work isn't, drop-in fills the gap — snacks, play, and a familiar home.
A gentle first taste
Not ready to commit? A drop-in day lets your child (and you) feel the home before enrolling.
Prefer a set rhythm? We also offer full-time and part-time openings — call and we'll find the schedule that fits your family.
