Keeping Up with Friendships as a Parent: A Guide and How Our Drop-In Child Care Can Help


Life with children is busy. From diaper changes and playdates to school runs and extracurricular activities, finding time for yourself and your friends can feel like an impossible task. But friendships are essential for your well-being. They provide emotional support, reduce stress, and remind you that you are not alone in this parenting journey. As parents, we understand the value of connections and community, which is why our drop-in child care center is dedicated to supporting you in every way possible.


Here’s how you can balance parenting duties with maintaining friendships and why sharing the benefits of our child care center with your friends can enhance your social life:


Tips for Keeping Friendships Alive

  1. Schedule Regular Meet-Ups - Even if it’s just once a month, set a date and stick to it. Whether it’s a coffee morning, a walk in the park, or a dinner date, regular meet-ups can help keep your friendships strong.

  2. Incorporate Kids into Social Plans - Use video calls, group chats, and social media to stay connected. Virtual hangouts can be a lifesaver when in-person meetings aren’t possible due distance or schedule conflicts.

  3. Leverage Technology - Use video calls, group chats, and social media to stay connected. Virtual hangouts can be a lifesaver when in-person meetings aren’t possible due distance or schedule conflicts.

  4. Be Honest About Your Availability - Don’t overcommit. Your friends will understand if you need to reschedule or if you can only chat for a few minutes. Authenticity goes a long way in maintaining strong relationships.

  5. Use Drop-In Child Care - Take advantage of our flexible child care options! Whether you need a few hours to catch up with friends or some time for yourself, our drop-in center is here to help. Relax and enjoy time recharging with friends with peace of mind knowing your child is well cared for and having fun at Skidaddles!
