Families and Babies
ILCA is committed to an environment conducive to learning for all Conference attendees. Quiet infants- in-arms and non-separating children are welcome. To meet the needs of restless babies and the little ones as a courtesy to other participants, we ask that these needs be met outside the meeting room. In order to fully participate in the educational sessions, some mothers find it easier to bring a support person to the Conference to provide care for their children outside the meeting rooms. Babysitting is available through a local bonded agency, Marion's Childcare. You may view more about this agency and their services at www.hotelchildcare.com or contact them at 888-891-5029.
