Resources for Parents

Attending DDW With Your Child[ren]?

We at DDW Administration are moms and dads, too, and we know what it’s like to need child care and other parenting resources, especially when you’re away from home. Read below to see what will be offered in San Diego, CA.

DDW will have child care for children ages six months to 12 years, located in a hotel conveniently accessible from the convention center. While you’re in sessions, children participate in age-appropriate activities including arts and crafts projects, active games and much more in a safe, nurturing environment. To ensure your child has a place, please pre-register by May 9.
