Childcare: Slots are limited to 30 and provided for children ages 3-12 ONLY. This year, priority will be given to families who have not participated in Childcare in the past. This will also include families whose children have used Childcare only 1 or 2 times in the past 3 years. After you have registered for the conference, a Federation staff member will contact you to begin the Childcare Enrollment process. During this process, we will confirm past usage of the service and may assign a family's request to a Waiting List, in the order in which your request is received. By February 25th (two weeks prior to the conference), a Federation staff member will inform families on the Waiting List of the status of their request for Childcare.

Families with confirmed Childcare will receive a CHILDCARE REGISTRATION PACKET in the mail and receive a Confirmation Code for each child. No child will be admitted on the day of the conference without a Confirmation Code.

Please visit our Child Care Page for more detailed information.
