Childcare Resources

For childcare support, please refer to the Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) program to identify childcare programs in proximity to the conference site. Please see the Child Care Search, which is an online search tool that helps individuals find childcare in the State of Iowa. Those seeking local childcare must plan in advance due to program and facility availability, and paperwork and health documentation required by state licensing in Iowa before a child can attend care.
