I think  we are looking at this the wrong way.

We need to generate some Family  Friendly programming, and do a nice write up 
of why "The Family that Plays  together, Stays together".  We can then have 
various games during  10am-6pm that can be family oriented programming.  We 
want Families  to play together, not to make programming that lets people 
drop their kids  off.

For little kids we can have Family Crafts, or other programming  that I am 
sure someone with small kids can think of as a good plan.   This would still 
involve the "Family" Aspect, rather than a babysitting  aspect.  If the kids 
are mature enough to play other games then  great, but for the children that 
need supervision, this is kind of like  "Mommy and Me" classes.

What do you think about this  spin?
