Childcare
Free childcare is provided at Winter School for eligible delegates with children aged 12 and under. An eligible delegate is a single parent, a parent not accompanied by a spouse/companion, or where both parents are delegates. While the CLC will pay the actual childcare costs at the school, students will be responsible for any additional hotel charges for their child.
Delegates having additional childcare costs as a result of leaving their children at home should apply for reimbursement from HSA. Delegates requiring childcare must pre-register and indicate childcare on their registration form. In order to determine necessary ECE staffing levels, the deadline for childcare registrations is December 1, 2022. Requests received after this deadline will only be accommodated if there is room in the childcare program. Cancellations are required and must be received 14 days in advance of your attendance at Winter School. Failure to cancel booked childcare space(s) will result in a “no show fee” of $150.00.
Please be aware that childcare arrangements may not be able to accommodate special needs, but please contact the Pacific Region office for more information.
