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 pre-K (age 4-5) through grade 8* who attend St. Paul Public Schools. Participation is by pre-registration only, and space is limited.
*Older middle-schoolers and high-schoolers may attend as volunteers.

Volunteer to join the fun
Student Spot can’t happen without lots of helpers. From picking up snacks to supervising the lunchroom to getting messy in the Creative Workshop, we have something for everyone to do.
“Thank you so much for providing such a wonderfully fun and caring environment for the students you serve.”
