EDUCAUSE strives to hold meetings, conferences, and other professional events where all attendees feel welcome and barriers of any type do not exclude people from attending or participating. EDUCAUSE recognizes that long-term and lasting progress on this front will require time, sustained effort, and the cumulative impact of incremental and individual actions.

Parenting/Maternity
Childcare Services
EDUCAUSE has been provided a list of service providers that offer childcare services in the area of the hotel, or in some instances, in-room service.
Although the hotel has compiled this list for the convenience of our guests, it is not intended to be a list of childcare providers endorsed or recommended by anyone.
Accordingly, the EDUCAUSE makes no representations concerning the qualifications of the childcare provider, or whether or not the provider is licensed, bonded or insured. EDUCAUSE does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any liability for the childcare provider or any acts or omissions of the childcare provided since this service is rendered by an independent childcare provider not affiliated with the hotel.
Guests must make his or her own arrangements with the childcare provider of choice. The hotel and its employees, as a service to our guests, may make the telephone call to the provider selected by the guest. Should the provider be unavailable, it will be the responsibility of the guest to choose another provider. Neither the hotel, nor its employees, can make this decision on the guest’s behalf.
The selection of a caregiver for a guest’s children should be entirely the decision of the guest, and not the hotel.
