Childcare has been an continuous issue for thousands of new parents each year in Vancouver. Since having her first child 14 years ago, our Organizer Katharine has dealt with many of these concerns 1st hand and sees new parents repeatedly go through similar situations over & over again. Thus we have created a Workshop to help parents navigate, learn & ask questions about the different Childcare options in Vancouver.

We will be having an exclusive panel of experts to discuss all the different aspects of childcare in Vancouver as well you will be able ask questions to them. We will overview the different options from birth to Out of School Care as well as available alternatives.

Topics will include (but not be limited to):

• Understanding the different "types" of childcare options available
• Learning & understanding the Provincial & Federal regulations & guidelines for childcare
• Alternative options for childcare (this includes Nanny Shares, Au Pairs, etc.)
• Rights & responsibilities of parents & caregivers
• Childcare Subsidy
• Current "state" of childcare in Vancouver - how we got here & what can we do to help the future generations

Our Confirmed Panel of Experts are:

• Crystal Janes - Director of Programs at Westcoast Child Care Resource Centr
• Dr. Alexandra T. Greenhill - CEO of myBestHelper
• Manuela Gruber Hersch - Founder & General Manager of International Nannies & Homecare Ltd

Any non mobile children that may need to come with you please note though Childcare will not be available though during the workshop
