Temporary childcare for parents who need a break

At The Lullabar, parents and caregivers can reserve two hours for themselves while their little ones enjoy various activities in our play gym. Parents must remain on-site and can book self-care services or enjoy time at the cafe.

Reserving childcare is optional, and is not necessary to enjoy the space. Walk-ins are welcome, or you may reserve your slot online.

About our Child Monitors

At The Lullabar, we take your child’s safety and experience with us very seriously. As mothers, we want to ensure the standards we set are good enough for our kids as well.

Our child monitors are screened by more than one manager before being offered employment.

Here are our current standards for all childcare monitors:

• Must pass a full background check.
• Must have at least two years of experience in childcare with young children. Many of our hires have previous experiences working in a daycare, school and/or both. References are checked!
• Must have up-to-date certification in CPR and first aid.
• Must love working with children!

Although we are not a daycare, we still have a reasonable child monitor-to-child ratio, which is 1:5.

If you have further questions concerning our childcare, please email us at contact@thelullabar.com.

Tips for drop-off

A Guide to Happier Goodbyes

Sometimes separation can be hard! Here are some tips we recommend for the littles before you leave them with our childcare monitors:

• The night before or the morning of, talk to your child about The Lullabar and get them excited to come and play! Let them know you’re coming back for them.
• It’s helpful for us to know your child’s potty schedule, so please try to plan your visit around that. And don’t forget to take your little one to the bathroom before leaving them with us.  
• Dress your child in comfortable clothes! We suggest putting shorts under dresses to make playing easier.  
• It’s best to keep the drop-off short and sweet! Our child monitors will help redirect your child to make the transition as smooth as possible.
• Lastly, make sure your child has a full belly before drop-off. We don’t allow snacks in the play gym, but you’re welcome to bring a labeled water bottle that we’ll keep in their cubby.

We hope these tips help make your goodbye a little happier, and we can’t wait to see you and your little one at The Lullabar!
