Holiday Party Child Watch

On-site child watch at military unit holiday parties so the whole family walks in together — and parents spend the evening with their unit, not managing bored 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.

Common questions

Can SOCWS do themed activities for holiday parties specifically?

Yes. SOCWS tailors activities to the event theme, including holiday-themed programming. The team plans age-appropriate activities and brings what's needed to keep kids engaged throughout the evening.

How early should we book SOCWS for a holiday party?

Holiday party season is the busiest time of year. Contact SOCWS as early in your planning process as possible to confirm availability. Booking is handled through the Event Coordinator or POC.

Do parents need to stay nearby during the holiday party?

Parents are free to enjoy the event. SOCWS communicates promptly if anything comes up, and clear sign-in/sign-out protocols ensure children are only released to authorized adults at the end of the evening.

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.

All the keepsakes for my child to remember her time at the event were PLENTY. My child doesn't usually do well in new settings, BUT upon pickup she didn't even want to LEAVE!

Acquiring SOCWS was SEAMLESS. The PREPAREDNESS was quite IMPRESSIVE. They utilized the space well and reset it to the initial state without a problem.

The service provided to my child versus the price paid per child far EXCEEDED my expectations.
