GETTING AROUND KINGSTON

CHILD CARE

Child care will be available during the conference. Please note that this is daytime care only; we are not able to extend the hours of care to cover evening events.

Two Registered Early Childhood Educators will be providing the care. There are a limited number of spots available so if you anticipate needing child care, please let us know as soon as possible.

While we are hoping to be able to subsidize the costs, there will be a fee associated with the child care services. We ask that you provide food for your child/ren (there will be a fridge available to store food for the weekend).

Please email the conference account (cfhconference2026@gmail.com) if you are interested in securing a child care spot(s). Additionally, you may contact Lisa Pasolli (lisa.pasolli@queensu.ca) directly if you have questions about the child care arrangements.
