My children had a great night! My oldest knew exactly where to go when he saw Pilot the Eagle sitting outside the event and ran right in. They had fun and begged to go back when we left. It was so nice to know they were not far away and well taken care of during our event.

Conference and Symposium Child Watch in Upper Marlboro, MD
About 20 minutes from our Clinton location via Marlboro Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue, with the team building in arrival buffer around MD-4 traffic when events fall during peak hours.
Upper Marlboro sits inside the PG County government and federal contractor corridor, and when a conference or symposium lands at Joint Base Andrews or a nearby federal venue, a large share of attendees drive in from this direction on Pennsylvania Avenue or MD-4. Coordinators who want full participation book SOCWS so every registered attendee actually shows up, not just the ones who happened to arrange a sitter in advance. The child watch room is staffed and running before the first session opens.
When military families travel to conferences and symposiums, childcare logistics shouldn't determine whether they attend every session. SOCWS provides professional, fully staffed on-site child watch with structured, age-appropriate programming calibrated to the pace of a multi-session event. Background-checked and First Aid/CPR certified staff run a themed environment that makes children want to stay — and gives event planners one less variable to manage.
About Upper Marlboro
Upper Marlboro is Prince George's County's seat of government, positioned along Pennsylvania Avenue (MD-4) and Crain Highway (US-301) about 15 miles northeast of our Clinton home base. The courthouse complex and county fairgrounds anchor the town center, while a growing ring of planned communities (Westphalia, Marlboro Ridge, and Beechtree) has drawn a steady stream of military families from Joint Base Andrews and the broader Pentagon corridor. Those families show up on the guest lists for balls, retreats, and family readiness events, and coordinators planning those events in PG County run into the same problem their counterparts everywhere do: a well-run event needs professional on-site child watch, and Upper Marlboro has no local provider doing this the way military families need it done.

Everything we do in Upper Marlboro →Common questions
Do you serve events held at Prince George's County venues, not just on military installations?
Yes. SOCWS travels to the event site, whether that is a hotel ballroom, a county conference center, a base facility, or another PG County venue. Share your location when you request a quote and the team will confirm coverage.
How does SOCWS coordinate with conference organizers?
For Upper Marlboro customers: sOCWS works exclusively with the Event Coordinator or Point of Contact, not individual attendees. The coordinator contacts SOCWS to book the service, confirm the estimated number of children, and work through logistics like space allocation and setup timing.
