Looking to run an errand?  Need childcare just for a few hours?  Would you like to treat yourself to a couple of hours of shopping or spa time?    Look no further than KidsPark!  Their facility is just across the road from San Jose's popular Valley Fair mall, very close to Santana Row, so you can easily squeeze in a date night without wasting precious time driving to and from the place. They're open late and on the weekends, which makes it ultra-convenient for working parents as well as stay-at-home parents.

Unlike many hourly-based childcare places, KidsPark is surprisingly affordable, with a $7 hourly rate.  Big families will love this place -- second siblings are only $2 per hour, and each additional sibling is only $2 per hour.  The fee even includes a snack of crackers and apple juice at 10, 3 and 8pm!   Lunch and dinner can be purchased, or you can pack your own child's lunch) Families pay a $25 annual fee and reserve timeslots in advance.   The faciililty is clean and the staff is bright and friendly, and although there can be as many as 20 children there at a time, they are split up into smaller, more manageable groups.  There are lots of fun things for your child to do, with activities for children from 2-11.  They also host special fun events from time to time, such as princess parties, rock star shows, art workshops, and themed craft days during the holidays.

All this makes KidsPark a great option for childcare for long events, schedule glitches, in-service days and school holidays -- but with a 20 hour weekly limit, there's no reason why you couldn't make KidsPark a regular childcare option.  They offer activities based on a preschool curriculum from Monday through Friday, 9:00am-11:30am, so it's an ideal place to test the waters and see if your 2 or 3 year old is ready for preschool.
