what is a drop-in childcare facility?
It is a pay-by-the-hour, flexible childcare service.​
​
Drop in childcare allows flexibility to our families. There is no need to pay for days/times that you no longer need care; you can choose to pay for only the hours you drop your child off. This gives caregivers the chance to run errands, attend doctor appointments, drink a warm cup of coffee (in peace) or anything their heart desires! This is also the perfect situation when your child's usual daycare or school has cancelled for the day or if you get called into work on a day you normally would have your kids.
enrichment programs
Our team is actively planning enrichment programs to keep your child entertained and engaged during their stay.
​
While we are finalizing our enrichment programs, we are focusing on the following activities: arts and crafts, music and movement, fine motor
activities and sensory play.
Why Choose Us?
Play4hours encourages children to learn and grow by providing a foundation of developmentally appropriate experiences where all children can succeed in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe children learn best through meaningful play. Meaningful play encourages curiosity, discovery and problem solving which allows individual growth and development of a positive self-image.
our team & facility
meet our owner
Directors, teachers and caregivers will work together to encourage growth in each child. Growth can be as small as a child independently drinking from a cup to finding a lifelong friend here at Play4hours!
​
We recommend planning a stop-in visit for your child to see the facility, meet their teachers and see some activities they can partake in. While they are exploring this gives caregivers time to register and complete all needed forms.
​
With a little preparation, you can help your child look forward to having fun at our drop in center. We understand separation may be hard for your little ones and you. That is why we work with you for a smooth transition. We offer video monitoring for all caregivers to check in on their child/children throughout their stay.
​
We can also ensure the safety of your children with 24/7 locked doors.
Andi decided to bring the concept of a drop-in childcare center after using a very similar concept when she lived in North Carolina. Shortly after moving to Cincinnati, she looked to utilize a similar concept for her family needs. Several years went by and Andi decided she wanted to offer this to her community.

Andi spends her time working at A Touch of Energy Wellness, a local westside med spa, and raising her 3 beautiful children. Andi started in education by working as a substitute teacher. She then went on to start and grow a caregiver's group in NC, where isolated, new mothers could get together and plan events, meet for playdates and rely on each other for support. Andi wants Play4Hours to be the center of support for parents, not just as a convenient place for child care, but for parents to find support from each. Children will also find Play4Hours to have opportunities to learn, interact, discover and play!
