Childcare and Teen Program

Please Note: Due to space restrictions, priority for access to childcare will be given to families living more than 100km away from Toronto.

Snugglers (Under 2 Years Old)

We are a family-first conference and encourage young families with infants to attend as well.  If you have an infant under two years old, Snugglers will be on hand to hold your baby close by during sessions.

Childcare (Age 2 - 12)

We are pleased to be providing child care services for children 2-12 years of age to the families attending the Conference.  Our goal is to provide safe, fun programming for children while parents attend the conference making their time in Toronto relaxing and worry free.

Child care will be provided each day from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, May 18th to 20th.  It will be the responsibility of the family to drop off and pick up their child.

We request that families pack a small back pack or bag, labeled with their child’s name and include the following items:

  • An empty water bottle for each child (labeled with the child’s name)
  • A change of clothing for children five and under
  • Diapers (a supply for the day)
  • Any personal care items such as diaper creams
  • Any special sleep toy or blanket the child uses at rest time


In addition we recommend that the children wear appropriate play clothes and suitable footwear (sneakers are recommended).

All food will be provided by the conference organizers.  If your child requires a special diet or has food related allergies please ensure that conference organizers are made aware of any special diet requirements or food restrictions (there is a place on your Conference Registration Form for this information).

Activities for children aged 2 - 6 will vary from activities for children aged 7 - 12.  Please stay tuned to our website for more detailed childcare events as they unfold.

Teen Progam (Age 13 - 17)

Teenagers aged 13-17 are invited to partake in the weekend Teen Program. Details are still being finalized, but we guarantee one thing: lots of fun!

Please stay tuned for detailed teen program events as they unfold.

Afternoon snacks will be provided both days and teens will be accompanied by volunteers during all activities.
