L.A.con IV will have childcare/babysitting.

A few quick notes about childcare. L.A.con IV is please to be able to offer childcare for those wishing a little while away from their little ones. We have contracted with KiddieCorp to provide an exciting space themed environment for them while away from mom and dad. KiddieCorp is a professional service with many years of experience. They will be on site through the entirety of the convention and will take advance reservations through their web site at: https://www.kiddiecorp.com/laconivkids.htm [offsite link]. L.A.con IV is pleased to be able to offer this service at a subsidized cost of $12.00 per hour, per child (2 consecutive hours minimum required per child, per day). Adults must be members of the convention to register their children and children must be from 6 months to 12 years old.

The hours of service will be:

Wednesday	August 23	9:30am-6:00pm
Thursday	August 24	9:30am-6:00pm
Friday		August 25	9:30am-midnight (Masquerade Night)
Saturday	August 26	9:30am-midnight (Hugos Night)
Sunday		August 27	9:30am-4:00pm

The advance registration deadline is July 26, 2006. Register early as availability is limited and handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note that there are a limited number of spaces and when they are full, KiddieCorp will be unable to take any more children until a space frees up.

Payment will be made directly to KiddieCorp.

Please also note that this service does NOT include meals. Light snacks may be provided but they will NOT be substantial enough to take the place of a meal. Please make sure that you schedule your time to include picking up your children for meals.

Cancellations must be made to KiddieCorp prior to July 26, 2006 for a full refund. Cancellations made after that date will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Once the program has begun, no refunds will be issued.

The following is a brief description of what awaits your children when they come to childcare.

Space Explorer Camp

Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Blast off! It's time to go to Space Explorer Camp. We'll pitch our space dome tents and chairs on the "moon's surface" and investigate our galaxies' stars, planets, and constellations. Let's discover what zero gravity feels like when we make our own pair of moon boots. The masterpieces we create will include wishing stars, celestial windsocks, and paper spaceships. Before we reach the earth's atmosphere, we can play with our spectacular sports centers and make some intergalactic moon bubbles. We'll also have a chance to play astronaut ring toss, musical planets, and moon, moon, star (our version of duck, duck, goose). So let's buckle our seat belts, prepare for countdown, and blast off to Space Explorer Camp.
