Safety routines
Check-in at the door
A teacher meets you at the room door, finds your child on the reservation list and hands your child back at the end of the block.
Pickup list
We release a child only to an adult on your pickup list, and we ask for photo ID from anyone we don't know.
Cots and rest
Infants sleep on their backs, in their own cot, with nothing else in the cot. An older child who is tired rests on a mat, with a teacher in the room.
Allergies
Tell us about any allergy when you register. Once your child is enrolled, we ask again in private.
Clean hands
Everyone washes hands on arrival, before snack and supper, and after outdoor play.
Drills
Each block practices fire and weather drills with the teacher who leads it.

Questions parents ask first
What ages do you take?
From 6 weeks to 5 years. Babies have a corner of their own with cots and a rocking chair, and the older children share the long table and the story corner.
How do I reserve a time?
Register once, then choose a block by the day before. We confirm by text, and we take walk-ins when there is room.
How long can my child stay in a day?
A child can stay for one block, for two in a row, or for the hours inside one, up to eight hours in a day. Tell us when you reserve if your appointment may run long.
Do you take walk-ins?
When there is room, yes. Reserving a time the day before is the surest way to have a place, and it lets us plan the teachers for the block.
What does the license mean?
The state of Colorado licenses Bedtime as a child care center, up to the capacity on the license. Our license number is at the bottom of every page, with a link to look it up.
How many adults are with the children?
Each age group has its own number of children per adult, set by the state for licensed centers.
How does tuition work?
It depends on your child's age and the hours you reserve. We give you the figures in writing when you register.
What if the block I want is full?
Join the waitlist when you reserve. When a place opens, we text the family that has waited longest for that age first.
