Welcome to the Drop-In Center website. Drop-In Center staff will be working closely with you to make sure your child receives the best care possible. Please feel free to contact us about concerns, questions, or ideas you may have. You are always welcome in your child's room to observe, to visit or to help out!
The Drop-In Center began as a parent cooperative in the early seventies. Offering child care "by the hour," the Center provided a service that was unavailable anywhere else in the community. Through the years the Center became a not-for-profit agency with a staff, but its cooperative spirit was maintained by parents who worked in the Center as "Parent Workers" and served on the Board of Directors and its Committees.
In January 1996, the Drop-In Center became licensed and now provides full-day child care as well as Drop-In ("by the hour") child care. Then, in 2005, the new toddler wing was added, increasing our capacity to 84 children! We rely on parent involvement more than ever.
The preamble to the DICC Philosophy states that "The Drop-In Children's Center is a community of children, parents, staff members and board members whose purpose is to provide quality, affordable child care for children ages six weeks to five years old." Welcome to the community!
Sincerely,
Lynne Jackier
