ASHG encourages families to travel to Washington, DC and enjoy the many family-oriented activities the city has to offer. In partnership with KiddieCorp, ASHG will provide formal childcare at the convention center, for which advance registration is required.
For the safety and security of your child(ren), ASHG has the right to refuse care to any child based on space availability as well as to any child unable to adapt to group situations, or to any child whose presence or behavior may disrupt the program or endanger the health or safety of other children. Note: Meals are not included, beyond snacks and water. Parents can order lunch in advance; an order form will be sent to all parents. Additionally, staff will not administer medication (including sunscreen), and any child who is ill will not be admitted to the center.
