Five: BUILD (set up/hold space)
We have built Kidz City in Sofa Forts, on picnic blankets, out of cardboard boxes, and within rooms during 2-3 day conferences. This section will focus on childcare during conferences and events and is broken into three sections: Kidz City, Taking Care, and People Power.
Note: Start by being as well prepared as you can. Make sure you are rested and have eaten beforehand (or at least on site before one’s shift starts), as well as encourage others to do the same. Quality building starts with taking care of ourselves.
