Free childcare when St. Paul Public Schools close
We know how difficult it can be to find safe, reliable childcare for 1-day school closures like conference prep days. It’s even harder when weather unexpectedly keeps kids home.
Student Spot is a partnership of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Macalester College and area churches to provide coverage on these days.
Scheduled days off
In the 2023-24 school year, we will be open:
Sept. 25
Oct. 27
Nov. 10
Jan. 15 & 26
Feb. 19
March 8 & 29
Student Spot will not open for MEA, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks.
Sudden closures
Student Spot will be open on unplanned days off and provide support to students logging in for digital learning days. Pre-Covid, Student Spot was only open for emergency care, so we know how to adjust on the fly!
“Thanks so much from our family for the childcare you provided last week. Unexpected and so very helpful to us. [Our kids] both loved it and had a wonderful time, looking forward to attending every day.”
