Childcare Offering
Applications due Friday, June 26, 2026
The Hawaiʻi Conservation Alliance and Foundation is pleased to offer a limited number of free, on-site group childcare spots at the 2026 Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference, made possible through generous support from the Healy Foundation.
Childcare, provided by a licensed event childcare team, will be available to registered conference attendees for the full conference proceedings on Tuesday, July 14 through Thursday, July 16. Caregivers are CPR and First Aid certified, background-checked, and have a minimum of five years of professional childcare experience. Childcare will be located in a dedicated room adjacent to conference activities.
We encourage interested individuals and families to submit a short application. Please note that space is limited and submission does not guarantee acceptance. This free offering was originally envisioned for infants, toddlers, and children who are six years old and younger. However, we may also extend services to children ages 7-11 based on interest and availability.
Apply via the online by Friday, June 26, 2026. Acceptance notifications will be sent no later than Friday, July 3.
