Prohibitive costs and looming liability issues make it inadvisable for MESA to offer on-site child care at this year's meeting in Washington, DC.  However, parents may want to consider the following options:

1) “trade” sitting services with other parents who are bringing their kids to the meeting. Parents who are interested in doing this can “advertise” on MESA’s website.

2) Use a local provider for in-room service. MESA can put parents in touch with a local provider and will share the cost of the associated expenses.
