Reliable Care for Families Who Don’t Work 9–5
Early Foundations Learning Academy understands that many families work on non-traditional schedules. Healthcare professionals, home health workers, essential workers, and families with rotating or extended shifts need childcare they can trust, even at night and on weekends. Our Night & Weekend Care provides licensed, structured, relationship-based care during non-traditional hours, without compromising quality, safety, or routines.
Our Approach: Quality Doesn’t Stop After 5 PM
Night & Weekend Care at EFLA follows the same principles that guide all of our programs, including TenderTime Foundations™ for infants and toddlers.
What Families Can Expect
✔ Licensed, professional care
✔ Familiar caregivers whenever possible
✔ Calm, home-like routines
✔ Respect for each child’s individual needs
✔ Clear communication with families
This is not overnight babysitting or unstructured supervision. This is intentional care designed for real family schedules.
