New Trend? Michigan Restaurant Offers On-site Child Care

A Michigan restaurant offers on-site child care to give parents a night out.

Your worries about finding a reliable babysitter are over, 'PNO' - Parents Night Out at this Macomb County spot has you covered.

Host Utica dedicates the restaurant's second floor to child care three nights a week. Every Tuesday through Thursday evening, parents can dine while their children are watched by CPR-certified childcare pros.

The fee for on-site child care at Host Utica is a great deal at just $8 for the first hour and a half. According to WNEM, this is not child care for babies. Children must be able to sit up by themselves. Age 12 is the cutoff.

Do I need to reserve a spot for my kid(s) for PNO at Host Utica?

Yes, parents must call Host Utica one day in advance. Host Utica is at 7759 Auburn Road in Utica, 48317. (586) 488-0134.

As you will see and hear in the video below,  several safety measures have been taken to be sure the kids stay safe. Some of these include surveillance cameras and parents must remain on site.

Do you think more Michigan restaurants will start to offer on-site child care? I think it is a cool concept. Would you be comfortable leaving your children with a supervised CPR-certified childcare professional while you enjoy dinner?
