Childcare Options

GROUP CARE: A number of classmates expressed an interest in group childcare for children under the age of 6 on Saturday night. We're happy to report that with enough pre-registrants (10+ families) we will be able to organize an onsite group care program with Parents In A Pinch, a well-known, award-winning childcare service.

  • Program: Parents In A Pinch will provide a team of warm, experienced, professional caregivers and set up an instant play center with creative toys and activities in the dorm living room.
  • Caregiver Ratios: The program will maintain a ratio of 4:1 for children ages 3 and older, a 2:1 ratio for children under 3.
  • Cost: $17/hour per child (4 hour minimum)
  • Location: Residence Hall Dorm Living Room (Freeman)

If you are interested, please contact Kristin Perry (kristinperry@alum.wellesley.edu) as soon as possible. The sooner we gauge the number of interested families, the better able we will be to shape the program into a truly valuable experience for all.

** Please note that all participants will be required to pre-register and pre-pay for this service. We will not be able to accommodate late registrants. NEW DEADLINE - May 15th. **
