Hit up your local, or even not local libraries! We're chill, accepting and we have more than just books. There's a whole library of things you can borrow: movies, games, puzzles, game systems, metal detectors, power tools etc. I'm in a small town and even we have free events all the time, for all ages. We're also really open to suggestions, so if you don't see something you like, just ask!
In Massachusetts it is state law that a child care center/home/facility call parents if a scheduled child is late being dropped off. For this reason I think it's a great regulation.
