Temporary Childcare

Flexible care when you need it

Choose One-Time / Occasional Temporary Childcare for isolated or irregular dates, or Recurring Temporary Childcare when your family has a fixed repeating childcare schedule confirmed in advance. All temporary childcare is subject to available space, safe staffing, required child information, and advance confirmation by MET-EIS.

  • Dates may change from month to month.
  • Several unrelated dates booked in advance do not automatically qualify as recurring care.

No enrollment fee, registration fee, annual materials fee, or separate Facility Maintenance Fee applies.
