With No Takers, Free Child Care Service Canceled for ’17

Announcements

Thank you all for responding to our inquiries regarding child-care needs. Due to a lack of demand, we have decided to cancel the service for WordCamp Philly 2017. Children are totally welcome at WordCamp Philly. We will just not be providing any sort of child care.
