I know that the OEYC (especially this one) ca be busy so as a parent I would worry as well about proper supervision etc.
Some parents also don't know what OEYC is. I would highlight that it is within walking distance and explain that you would attend 2 hours a week or 4 etc and how great it is for the children to get out with a larger group. Explain that there are usually 2 ECEs there and the children enjoy the circle time with a larger group. It is a change of scenery for them.

I have told parents we go to OEYC and get blank stares until one of the parents ask "what is that?"
