Now known as "Margie's Place", this drop-in-childcare center is wonderful. Kids get to run around and play with other kids turning what would normally be a night with a babysitter into a playdate. The rates are also below what you'd be likely to pay for a babysitter, unless you can fill the whole van with your brood. Best of all, there's no scheduling needed so if your little one needs to go to the emergency room *again*, you can drop the others off on your way.
This is not a preschool, and is best used sparingly. Kids have televisions, video games, etc. at their disposal and those prone to zombification will enjoy their time here. Dinner seems to always be pizza.
PROS: Flexible, playing with others, great location
CONS: Chaotic at times, it's play time rather than learning time
