What is Drop-in Playcare?

Drop-in playcare is a flexible option for families who don’t need a set weekly schedule but still want a safe, nurturing, and fun place for their children. Parents can drop off for a few hours, a meeting, a last-minute errand, or even a date night, without the rigid commitment of traditional daycare.


Why Work at a Drop-In Playcare Center?

Working at Empower Kidz is a unique and exciting experience! Unlike traditional playcare settings, our flexible, on-demand model means every day brings new faces, fresh opportunities, and meaningful moments.


You’ll engage with a diverse group of children and families, lead creative activities, and help kids navigate their day, all in a dynamic environment that values adaptability and fun. If you thrive on variety and love inspiring joy in young children, you’ll feel right at home here.


Flexible Work That Fits Your Life

Looking to supplement your income? Empower Kidz is a great fit for educators, students, or caregivers who want to earn extra money while doing meaningful work. Our flexible scheduling allows you to pick up shifts that work with your current commitments, whether you're teaching during the day, pursuing a degree, or balancing other responsibilities.

  • Trust: We build strong, meaningful connections with families, children, and each other
  • Innovation: We embrace creativity to make every day exciting and memorable
  • Adaptability: We stay flexible and responsive because life isn’t one-size-fits-all
