The second annual Northwest Kansas Childcare Conference will be held on August 1 & 2nd (Thursday and Friday), 2024 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Hays, KS. This two-day conference, sponsored by the Northwest Kansas Economic Innovation Center, Inc. will give participants the opportunity to gain 16 hours of KDHE approved training, including CPR/First Aid recertification.
THERE IS NO REGISTRATION FEE FOR CHILDCARE PROVIDERS!
The conference is open to licensed childcare providers in licensed day care homes, group day cares and childcare centers from Cheyenne, Clay, Cloud, Decatur, Dickinson, Ellis, Ellsworth, Graham, Gove, Jewell, Lincoln, Logan, Mitchell, Norton, Osborne, Ottawa, Phillips, Rawlins, Republic, Rooks, Russell, Saline, Sheridan, Sherman, Smith, Thomas, Trego, Wallace, and Washington Counties.

Conference registration is available on a first-come/first-served basis. When slots are filled, providers will go on a wait list. Providers from the wait list will be included as slots become available. Last year, the majority of providers on the initial wait list were able to get a registration slot at the conference.
