That's right! We are pleased and proud to announce to the BlogHer community that parents registered for the conference will now have the option to enroll their kids in our on-site childcare program!

Corporate Kids Events, a nationally known provider of professional, licensed conference childcare, will be extending their services and expertise to registered BlogHer attendees. The Corporate Kids Events staff will be setting up the "BlogHer Conference Kids Camp" in the spacious comfort of adjoining suites at our hotel, the Hyatt San Jose. Plenty of age appropriate activities, lunches and snacks are planned for our campers, along with tender loving attention and safe supervision.

A quick overview of the program:

CAMPER AGE RANGE
Infants to 12 years old.

CAMP HOURS
Friday, July 28th: 8:30am - 7:00pm
Saturday, July 29th: 8:30am - 7:00pm

CAMP FEES
$84 per child including lunch and snacks.
This works out to $4.00 an hour, an exceptionally low cost for high quality childcare.

CAMP ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED! FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
The Kids Camp can accommodate a maximum of 50 children. This number is based on the childcare survey we conducted several weeks ago. Per the survey results, we anticipate that 30 infant/toddlers and 20 children 4 years of age and older will attend the program.

Our on-site childcare program would not be possible without the gracious generosity and support of our corporate sponsors:

AlphaMom TV, the brainchild of Isabel Kallman, offers a refreshing mix of programs on a variety of topics for all alpha moms. AlphaMom's online authors include BlogHers Heather Armstrong, Eden Marriott Kennedy, Amy Corbett Storch and Melissa Summers.

ClubMom, the nationally acclaimed website, is where millions of moms go for real-mom information, mom-to-mom connections, and rewards. ClubMom recently launched their MomBlogs authored by many BlogHers including Janeen Armstrong, Kristen Chase, Tracey Clark, Amanda/The Naked Ledger, Tracey Gaughran-Perez, Jennifer James, Jenny Lauck, Lena Lotsey, Sheri Reed, Dawn Rouse, Jenn Satterwhite, Amy Corbett Storch, Kathy Snead Williams...and this blogger.

PBS Parents is the online home for the always excellent PBS kids programming. This informative website provides a wealth of resources on child development from birth through the early school years. This is also a fun site for kids and parents alike. (Take a look at the totally cute and fun game on the PBS Kids 'Fetch' ad on the right sidebar.)

We thank these kind sponsors and applaud them for acknowledging the critical need for childcare at professional meetings such as BlogHer.

Please send me an email (gracedb@yahoo.com) if I can assist you in any way with questions or concerns regarding the BlogHer Conference Kids Camp. Should you require alternate childcare planning, such as an in-room private nanny, we would be happy to send you a list of local services.

Warm wishes to all, on behalf of the BlogHer 06 Childcare Committee and the BlogHer Founders, Elisa, Jory and Lisa,
