BlogHer '08 Childcare - STILL Open for Registration!
by Kristy Sammis

UPDATED: Please note that childcare registration will remain open until all spaces are filled. There's still a few open spaces, so we encourage you to sign up asap!

BlogHer is pleased to announce that, following a comprehensive search, we have agreed to partner with KiddieCorp to provide on-site childcare on both Friday and Saturday of the event (July 18 and July 19).

KiddieCorp comes highly recommended, and we're confident that they will offer attendees' children a safe and fun experience.

Thanks to this year's childcare sponsors -- Care.com, LeapFrog, and PBS Parents -- we will again be able to offer childcare at the highly subsidized rate of $50/day per child. Childcare is available from 8 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. both days, and your fee includes meals, snacks and beverages. KiddieCorp's program is open to children aged 3 months to 10 years. And while KiddieCorp cannot be responsible for babies under 3 months, you are welcome to bring your infants to all BlogHer sessions, activities, etc.

To learn more about KiddieCorp and to sign up, please click here: https://www.kiddiecorp.com/blogherkids.htm

As I'm trying to figure out

As I'm trying to figure out what to do with Molly, the BichonFroodle, while I'm at BlogHer, I'm thinking---too bad there's not dogcare!!!

I'd love to meet Molly!

Alas, I'm not so sure the Westin would be down with it.

Doggie Daycare -- definitely something to put on the radar for '09...

I used Kiddie Corps a few years ago, and they
were fabulous.

Parentopia.net/blog  The American Sociological association had a mtg in San Fran a few years ago and Kiddie Corps provided childcare. The experience was wonderful. I believe they have also been used by the American Academy of  Pediatrics for their national conferences.

ByJane: Kimpton is pet-friendly and is
offering BlogHers rates

Since we've made our Westin room block and Thursday is entirely sold out at the Westin, the Kimpton Hotel chain has stepped up with a discount and reservation page just for BlogHers: here.

Kimpton Hotels are pet-friendly, I believe.

Molly is booked into Kritter Kamp

Thanks, Kristy and Elisa, for your responses.  I will have a MUCH better time at BlogHer if I don't have to worry about Molly.  And she will have a MUCH better time at KritterKamp, where Betty will let her sleep on the bed.
