KiddieCorp Children's Program

Who is KiddieCorp?

KiddieCorp is an organization that has been providing high quality programs to children of all ages at conventions, trade shows, and corporate events throughout the United States and Canada since 1986. It has enjoyed a long-time partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which has helped to establish KiddieCorp as a premier provider of event children's program services. Read all about them here.

Commitment

KiddieCorp's goal is to provide your children with a comfortable, safe and happy experience. Their staff to child ratios are high to ensure that every child feels special (1:2 infants; 1:3 toddlers; 1:5 school age). KiddieCorp team members are selected according to their integrity, experience, education and enthusiasm. They must be wonderful with kids! You will feel secure knowing that the KiddieCorp team is bonded and that they carry ample liability insurance.

Activities

All activity planning is based around the program hours and ages of children. Activities include exciting themes, arts & crafts, group games, music & movement, board games, story time, dramatic play, etc. KiddieCorp provides activities appropriate for each age group, using safe, sturdy equipment that you can feel comfortable with. Children can make their own choices with KiddieCorp's program.

Where, When, For Whom

This program is for children ages 6 months through 12 years old. Space per day will be limited. The dates and times for the program are January 5 - 8, 2005, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. It will be located at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Atlanta, GA. Parents are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages for their children but items such as juice boxes, cheerios, and crackers will be provided. KiddieCorp can arrange meals for children at cost plus 15% or parents can be responsible for meals for their children.

Cost

The registration fee is $25 per family (nonrefundable). Additional cost will be $8 per hour per child or $6 per hour per child for graduate students. Parents must be registered for the JMM to participate. These reduced child care rates are made possible to the meeting participant by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America.

If parents do not pick up their children on time as scheduled or at the end of the day if scheduled (no later than 5:00 pm), they will be charged a late fee of $5.00 per child for every 15 minutes thereafter.

Cancellations must be made to KiddieCorp prior to December 8, 2004 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.

Registration

Please register directly with KiddieCorp for this program. To register, go to https://www.kiddiecorp.com/jmmkids.htm or call KiddieCorp at (858) 455-1718 to request a form. Parents must also be registered for the JMM to register for this service. You may register for the JMM by clicking here. Again, space is limited, so registrations are only guaranteed if received by KiddieCorp by the pre-registration deadline of December 8, 2004. KiddieCorp must receive both the registration and consent form with payment in full to hold reservations. Although every effort will be made to accommodate late or on-site registrations, there is no guarantee that KiddieCorp will accept children unless they are pre-registered. Late or on-site registrations will be accepted based on space availability only.

KiddieCorp accepts credit cards, checks and money orders only. (Cash will be accepted on-site if space is available.)

KiddieCorp and the JMM reserve the right to limit participation of children whose presence or behavior may disrupt KiddieCorp's program or endanger the health or safety of others.
