Babysitters, Preschools and Childcare

Maybe you’re reading this online and you can arrange daycare, day excursions and babysitters for your little bundles of joy prior to your visit. If you’re reading the print magazine and have already arrived, please don’t wait until the last minute for arrangements. It’s possible, but much less stressful for everyone involved to have something like this lined up in advance. If you are waiting until the last minute, during the day your best bet is to drop in at a preschool if they aren’t full on that particular day and have room.
