childcare

It's official! Just in time to get that early bird price on your Drupalcon ticket! @WeVillage is hosting Drupalcamp for Kids 2013 open to all kids between the ages of 2-12! It's only $279 for daytime care for the whole week this includes lunch! Stayed tuned to @DrupalPDXKid on twitter for details on how to signup or checkout our event page https://2013.drupalpdx.org/events/childcare-drupalcon. Aftercare is also available at an hourly rate, WeVillage is open until 9:30pm most nights in case you have dinner meetings or parties to make it to!

Based on my own experience, and on conversations at Drupalcon San Francisco, I think on-site child care may be a well received option at Drupalcon Chicago. It does require some space, and organization. I could help with the organizing, and raising money for the childcare and space. This does not mean that it would not cost parents who use the service in addition to their registration fees, but hourly childcare is much cheaper than a nanny full-time plus travel expenses.
