Childcare

In response to numerous requests, ACVS is pleased to provide a children’s program for the 2008 ACVS Veterinary Symposium. The goal is to provide your children with a program they want to attend, while providing you with that critical peace of mind while you attend the meeting. The children’s program is for children ages six months through 12 years old and will be located at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. The cost for the children’s program is $10.50 per hour, per child (two-hour minimum required per child per day). The pre-registration deadline is September 29. Visit the KiddieCorp site to register.
