Congratulations to Helena and Johan Valentin...you've won four FREE hours of childcare at The Nest!!  We appreciate everyone who entered the drawing and loved hearing the variety of ways you spend your time while your kiddos are busy playing in The Nest.  Among them, "Have lunch with friends and volunteer at my older child's school." "Exercise, shop, run errands." "I hit the gym, buy a hot cocoa or fries that I won't have to share, then close my eyes for a 20 minute nap, alone." "We get our sanity back!" "I get my discount therapy at TJ Max." The list went on and many of you had things in common such as pedicures, doctors appointments, Starbucks with a book, massages, dinner and movie on Parents Night Out, and alone time.  Whatever it is that keeps you busy, The Nest is pleased to offer a safe, fun environment where you can leave your kids while you attend to life's demands or simply enjoy life's pleasures.
