Streetlevel: New Daycare Option in the Slope
A big poster has gone up advertising a new daycare facility in a 6th Avenue building between Garfield and Carroll. The business is called Daddy’s Daycare, and the poster and advertisements outside the building make it look like a pretty homespun affair.

The business is called Daddy’s Daycare, and the poster and advertisements outside the building make it look like a pretty homespun affair. An online advertisement says it’s for kids between 6 weeks and 12 years old and reveals a slogan: “May the Formula Be With You!!!” GMAP
I am working up the treatment now: Rob played by Jack Black, brought to this pass by the need to pay off some unsavory debt, dragging a triple-wide stroller up the streets of Park Slope, growling, “Stinkin’ yuppie crotchfruit!” and handing them all Twinkies while a whiny 3-year-old lisps that his Mom always buys whole-grain soy snacks at the Co-op. He is saved by Granola, a precocious 12-year-old charge (Abigail Breslin), whose overprotected, shrink-wrapped childhood blossoms with the opportunity to rescue the hapless, adorably depraved and profane Rob (and his wildly endangered young charges) in a series of hair-raising adventures in the borough’s grittier quarters. Liberated from her overscheduled Slope childhood, Granola pretends that Rob is supervising her Suzuki practice and Tween Pilates when he is in fact growing dependent on her resourcefulness and level head to extricate him from various pediatric scrapes. Critics will love best the scene with Rob, the baby bottle, the blender and the Ritalin; but the scene at the end, where Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick (acting together for the first time as little Granola’s parents) must bail her and Rob out, and discover the true meaning of childhood, will not leave a dry eye in the house…
…Merry Christmas, y’all!
Nannies are not for the struggling…babysitters are. Two different animals.
And…Baby strollers are not at the bar because mommy WORKS there and can’t afford daycare…it’s because it’s HAPPY HOUR!
ZING!!

Nice call, benson. Perfectly timed.
“how much do nannies and mannies make these days anyway? im totally laughing my ass off now at the thought of me being a professional manny

Haha – you’d probably use the kid as a way to panhandle more effectively!!

it could be 12 year olds with special needs i guess so maybe ill give it a pass.. but if youre a normal kid with average intelligence you really dont need a babysitter or daycare after first grade.
also latchkey kids make much better adults!
