My children had a great night! My oldest knew exactly where to go when he saw Pilot the Eagle sitting outside the event and ran right in. They had fun and begged to go back when we left. It was so nice to know they were not far away and well taken care of during our event.

Holiday Party Child Watch in Fort Washington, MD
About 15 minutes from Clinton via Branch Avenue (MD-5) north to I-495, then west to the Indian Head Highway (MD-210) exit and south into Fort Washington.
Fort Washington families are a short drive from Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, and the Pentagon, which means unit holiday party season stacks up fast across November and December. SOCW arrives with the full on-site setup, including the USDA-approved snack buffet and themed activities, so service members and spouses can stay through the whole evening. The sign-in and sign-out protocols mean no one is slipping away from dinner to check on the kids.
Holiday parties are meant for the entire unit family, but without on-site child watch, parents end up at the edge of the room instead of in the middle of it. SOCWS sets up a fully staffed, themed child watch area at your venue with seasonal activities, take-home keepsakes, and a snack buffet that makes it feel like the kids' own party is running alongside yours. Parents get the evening back. Kids go home with a story.
About Fort Washington
Fort Washington sits between Clinton and the Potomac River, most of it running along the Indian Head Highway corridor on MD-210. The Tantallon peninsula extends into the river, and between National Harbor to the north and Piscataway Park to the south, this is a community where military and federal government families have settled for decades. Joint Base Andrews is less than fifteen minutes up Branch Avenue, and the Pentagon is a straight shot up I-495.
