At Little Larks™, we believe that every event should be enjoyed to the fullest — by everyone. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, hosting a corporate conference, or gathering with family, we know that parents often face a tough choice: bring the kids and worry about keeping them entertained, or leave them behind and miss out on the moment.
Our solution? Pop-Up Daycares.
We bring the magic of Little Larks™ directly to your event venue. Think of us as your on‑site childcare partner — creating a safe, engaging, and screen‑free play zone for children while adults focus on what matters most: enjoying the occasion.
A pop‑up daycare is a fully managed, on‑site childcare program that we set up at your event location. It's not babysitting. It's a structured, activity‑based program designed to entertain and engage children in a safe, nurturing environment — so you and your guests can relax and enjoy the event.
Our pop‑up service includes:
✅ A dedicated team of trained, screened, and CPR‑certified caregivers
✅ A fun, screen‑free play zone with age‑appropriate activities
✅ All toys, crafts, games, and activity materials supplied by us
✅ Full setup and teardown — we arrive, we set up, we run the program, and we clean up
✅ A safe, supervised environment where children are engaged and happy
✅ Flexible hours to match your event schedule (minimum four hours a day)
✅ Fully bilingual staff available upon request
Our pop‑up daycare service is perfect for a wide range of events:
Parents can enjoy the ceremony and reception while children are entertained nearby — no need to leave early!
Attending professionals can focus on the event and conferences, knowing their children are safe and engaged in a structured program.
Children can enjoy age‑appropriate activities while adults reconnect and catch up for a family fun.
Add a fun, supervised play area for little guests — giving parents a break during the party.
Let parents enjoy the festivities while children are entertained with holiday‑themed activities.
Provide a safe, inclusive space for children, making the event more accessible for families.
Activity Zones
We create themed play zones designed to spark imagination and keep children engaged:
Art Station: Painting, coloring, crafts, and creative projects.
Storytime Corner: Engaging read‑aloud sessions with age‑appropriate books.
Sensory Play Zone: Playdough, sensory bins, textured materials, and hands‑on exploration.
Mini Obstacle Course: Active play with tunnels, soft mats, and balance challenges.
Quiet Corner: Puzzles, quiet books, and calm activities for children who need a break.
Safety Is Our Priority
All caregivers hold current Vulnerable Sector Checks and CPR/First Aid (including Infant/Child).
We maintain a low caregiver-to-child ratio (1:6 for school‑age, 1:4 for younger children).
Our team follows strict health and safety protocols, including supervision, emergency procedures, and child‑release policies.
A designated on‑site lead supervisor oversees the program throughout the event.

Before the event, parents complete a quick online registration form. The information is securely stored and available to the on‑site team.
