Parents' Night Out in Fairfield County

6/4/13 - By Katie McKnight

Why, yes, it is my birthday this weekend.  Why, yes, I would like to go out to a nice (grown up) dinner with my husband.  And why yes, it is prom weekend in my town, so all my lovely young sitters are bejeweled, bedazzled and headed out for a night on the town.   But some very thoughtful and business-minded childcare places had this very scenario in mind when they began offering Parents Nights Out, or, as I like to call them, Mom’s Night of Sanity.  Some local areas that offer this service include the following:
