Finding quality care that fits a non-traditional schedule is hard. Most centers close by 6pm and don't do weekends or overnights. Happy Palm was built differently — to support real working families.
We offer full-time, part-time, drop-in, before/after school, weekend, evening and overnight care, with 24-hour scheduling available by arrangement.
And flexibility never means lower standards. At every hour your child enjoys the same clean, safe, loving environment and the same trusted caregiver.
Overnight stays for parents who work nights or travel for work.
Saturday and Sunday care when you need it.
Schedules that adapt as your work and family life change.
Consistency your child can rely on, day or night.
