Free childcare during school closures
We know how difficult it can be to find safe, reliable childcare for scheduled 1-day school closures like conference prep days. It’s even harder when the closure is unexpected and with no end date. We are here to support families during these times.
Student Spot is a partnership of Immanuel Lutheran Church and Macalester College to provide coverage on these days.
We accept students in preK (age 4-5) through grade 6* who attend St. Paul Public Schools. Participation is by pre-registration only.
*Older middle-schoolers and high-schoolers may attend as volunteers.
We’re here to support families
Scheduled days off
In the 2024-25 school year, we will be open:
Oct. 3 & 25
Nov. 22
Jan. 20 & 31
Feb. 17
March 7 & 28
April 18
Student Spot will not open for MEA, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks.
We have lots of ways to support the program, from buying supplies to coloring alongside a child. All volunteers must agree to a background check and meet with the Student Spot director before working with kids.

“Thank you so much for providing such a wonderfully fun and caring environment for the students you serve.”
