Parents can use the Childcare Center as a free or reduced-cost substitution for babysitting for many of the events held here at St. Thomas More. Childcare Center-aged children include 6 months to 6 years old. Ministries and events which have consistently used childcare services include:
Childcare is available when advertised for various events and when reservations are made. A 3-day advance reservation is a must to guarantee the availability of caregivers - please no drop-ins! A small donation so that we may continue this service may be requested within the Childcare Center room. If you have made a reservation and will no longer need the childcare, please contact us at (512) 258-2055 to cancel your reservation.
If you are volunteering as a Religious Education Teacher, volunteering for our Summer Camps, VBS (Vacation Bible School), or MLF Camp (Mobile Loaves and Fishes), childcare is offered for those volunteers whose child is too young to attend class or camp. We offer this service as a "thank you" to our volunteers!
Any child needing babysitting while parents remain on campus must have a completed Children's Information Form on file. Please download, print and complete the first page of this form and bring it to your first use of the Childcare Center. To view Procedures for Parents using the Childcare Center on what you can expect while your child is in the Childcare Center, please view the file.
To make reservations, please complete the form below and submit at least 3 days prior to the event. We will confirm your reservation and notify you of your room assignments prior to the event. Please cancel reservations by calling (512) 258-1161 x322. For more inforamtion about our Childcare Center, please contact our Child Care Center Coordinator, Cindy Acosta via email or (512) 215-1921.
The Childcare Center has several opportunities for adults and teens to give back!
Teens are considered as students attending Middle School through 17 years of age. Per diocesan requirements, once you are 18 years old, you must be in compliance with Ethics & Integrity in Ministry before volunteering in the Childcare Center.
Our Faith Formation teachers need volunteer caregivers to babysit their children while they teach our parish's children. When you register for Faith Formation, be sure to complete the volunteer form and return to the Faith Formation staff.
Our volunteers during VBS (Vacation Bible School) need caregivers. When registering your child for VBS, please consider volunteering!
