| The FPEA Florida Homeschool Convention
is staged at a family friendly resort so that the weekend can be an adventure
for the whole family. We even schedule a few events specifically to entertain
children and educate teens. It is FPEA policy to let children accompany
parents because it is the only way some parents can attend. However, it
is not always ideal for your children to accompany you. If your children
become a distraction, you may miss some information that could benefit
them. For this reason, we encourage you to plan ahead for childcare. We
intend for the Convention to serve as many parents as possible by providing
excellent vendors and a variety of home-education materials. Our exhibit
hall reflects this intent.
Exhibit-Hall
Shopping with Children: Again this year, the exhibit
hall will have wide aisles to better accommodate carts and strollers, as
well as extended hours for your convenience. Children will be allowed into
the hall with their parents the entire time. Please note that only registered
attendees and their children may enter the exhibit hall (badges will be
checked).
Strollers
and Shopping Carts: Strollers are permitted in the Exhibit
Hall (except double-wides), provided there is a child in the stroller.
Shopping carts are permitted in the Exhibit Hall.
Notes
About Lectures
If lectures are crowded, children
must surrender their chairs to adults. Noisy children must be taken out
of lecture rooms; you may return to the lecture as soon as your child quiets
down. As an additional courtesy, please make sure to set cell phones and
other communication devices in a silent mode.
