I have to do some grocery shopping.  Do I have to stay on the premises with my child or do ya'll babysit? 
Unfortunately, we do not offer child care without the parents or guardians on the premises.  However, there is a folder at our front counter called the "Cool Babysitter Folder".  This folder is only allowed to have cool babysitters in it.  By cool, we mean they are over 13 years old and have submitted a background clearance form to us (see the next question for more info).  So feel free to leaf through the resumes in this folder and choose a provider who is able to watch your child in our safe & clean atmosphere, or provide a sitter of your own.

I am a responsible adult with childcare experience and I'd like to earn some extra cash here and there by watching some children at Giggle Beans because you have a clean and safe atmosphere for kids.  How do I do this? 
Simple!  Come and see us for our government background check form.  It's a free service that shows other parents you have a crispy clear history behind you.  Then give us your resume and the times / days you are available, as well as what you will charge per hour per child.  The parent will receive the wristband that matches the child's; you will not be allowed to leave the premises with the child (unless you have the parents written permission.)

So, what's security like at Giggle Beans? 
In addition to our CCTV cameras, when you come to play you and your child will receive matching wristbands.  Only parents/guardians and children who have matching wristbands will be allowed to leave together. 

Other questions that may pop up:

What's the scoop with the food/beverage-free play area? 
So many families deal with the stress of food allergies, we wanted to create a safe place for them.  Not to mention, a food/beverage-free play area = cleaner toys!  Nobody wants to play with partially chewed fossilized fruit snack, or see their child finishing someone else's soggy cracker.  There is a separate area designated for snacks/sippies conveniently located near the sinks for hand washing before returning to play.   

I want to have a birthday party at Giggle Beans, but I only have a small number of children to invite.  Do you offer smaller birthday party packages?
Nope.  The reason we only offer one package is because we close down to the public during your party, so regardless of whether you have 4 or 24 children, the place is all yours!  This ensures privacy for your party, as well as seeing just your invited friends on your complimentary birthday DVD. 

What's a Giggle Bean?
For some unknown reason, our son became known to us as "bean" as well as "detchy", "stretchy", "poopers", "flooey", "menden", "spazoid", "screamer", "king of the time-outs", etc... But bean was for sure the cutest nickname, and there is nothing as close to perfection as the sound of him giggling, thus "giggle bean" was born.  Yeay!

If you were to be stranded on a planet inhabited by giant lobster-like beings, and could only bring one type of fruit, what type would you bring?
Bananas.
