Participate in a book exchange! Bring a book to swap - ideally something childcare-related you loved that is no longer useful to you. We ask that you all limit yourself to no more than three books so we don't have an overwhelming number to donate if they don't get taken.
Snacks and beverages will be provided, but we advise attendees to bring a sack lunch and their reusable mug or water bottle. We are not providing a catered lunch. We do, however have some fabulous prizes from Nanny Tees! Everyone who attends will be entered in the drawing.

Talking To Parents About The Kids
Nationally acclaimed parenting expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa, affectionately known as Dr. G, will speak with Sue Downey all about how to handle tough conversations with parents. We will tackle bringing up concerns over development and health as well as behavior issues. We will tackle what topics that maybe we shouldn’t bring up and how to still advocate for the child.
