Daycare for stay at home parents. Hmm.

That's kind of how Mango's Place describes their service. No, it's not a daycare run by Chris Kattan. Thank God.



Mango's Place is a drop-in daycare, targeting stay-at-home parents who need someone to watch their kids while they go to an appointment, run errands, sleep, etc. I didn't know these places existed in Columbus until yesterday. We are very fortunate to have my mom in town to provide excellent child care services at very reasonable prices (read: free). But sometimes she has schedule changes, or Chris needs some time on his days off work to handle some stuff. I think we've found our solution. Mango's will watch your kid for up to 4 hours. You just pay a yearly membership fee, plus an hourly rate.

We went to check it out yesterday, and it looked like a great solution. All the kids seemed to be having a great time and the people were really nice. So, it looks like we have a new child care option.
