Childcare and Children’s Programs
Child care will be provided for children between the ages of two and eleven during all of the formal workshop sessions at NO CHARGE. Children will be cared for by qualified staff and volunteers (free for you, fun for them). Children will be engaged in activities relevant to MWSF programs. Arts, Diversity, Puppet Theater, storytelling, field trips and more are all a part of the experience being created for our future world changers. Child care will NOT be provided during meal times. Parents should pick up their children fifteen minutes prior to each meal. For field trips, it is especially important that children are dropped off on time. The Child Care Center is in room 147 of the UWM Student Union (inside the Fireside Lounge). Please report to the Registration Table first.
LIMIT OF 30 CHILDREN. IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE SIGN UP BY JULY 1, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE ORGANISERS TO PROVIDE AND PLAN THESE ACTIVITIES.
