Looking for a Daycare That Is Open Late and on Weekends

Have you considered a home provider? Many people keep children in their home. They're licensed by the state and might be just what you're looking for. I tried this for my daughter but was unable to get in, they were all so popular. The city of Jacksonville has a GREAT childcare referral service, and it's free:

J.,
There is a place on Monument Road called Kids by the Hour that is open late and on weekends. You might give them a call and see if they any other locations closer to Baymeadows.

HI J.. A mom I know told me about a place called Playstation on San Jose Blvd, in Mandarin. I haven't been and my husband & I will check it out, this weekend. But you can pay by the hour and they are open on Sat's from 6am-midnight. Or something like that. I'll let ya know what I think, after Sat. Good luck.

Hi there, My name is J. S., How is the daycare hunt coming along?? What I can tell you from driving around and calling is that I haven't found one yet. I know from running my own daycare that most do not want to do late nights and especially weekends. I had so many parents ask for those hours. If you need a babysitter I still watch children in my home any hour and any day of the week. Give me a call at ###-###-####, maybe we can meet up if your interest. Have a great day.

I'm not sure if you just want your child in a daycare, or if you would consider home care. But I thought I would write just in case we could work it out. I am a preschool teacher. I just had a baby and want to stay home, so I want to keep 2 kids in my home. I'm not sure about your schedule, but maybe it could work out. I live off of Atlantic and Kernan. I was planning on starting the week of April 10th. If you may be interested and would like to talk about it let me know.
