GRACE Kids Program

This program is provided for children of the attendees and is available on-site at the conference. Babies and toddlers will be in the nursery receiving lots of love, attention and interactive play. For kids ages 2 years to 12 years, the day is a full and fun schedule created by Katie Kaszubski, who is a Childhood Education Specialist. The children will enjoy age appropriate crafts, music, games and have gym time, snack times, meal times and rest time. The program is offered from 7:30am to 8:30pm. Parents are welcome to stop in at anytime and see their kids. All meals and snacks are provided, however, if a child has specific nutrition needs or allergies, the parents must provide the child’s meals and snacks.

For the children who are grieving the loss of a sibling
Often, grieving children do not have outlets and resources available to address their own sense of loss. Diane Dingley, Certified Child Life Specialist at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of MN and Laura Merrill Certified Child Life Specialist will provide 3 lessons on Saturday morning that specifically address the emotions children may have in their own grieving, in order to help the better process their feelings. Groups are offered to children ages 3-5yr, 6-8yr., and 9-12yr at the following times: 9-9:30am, 10-10:30am, and 11-11:30am.
