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
Professional on-site child watch for military conferences and symposiums — structured programming that keeps children engaged so parents can attend every briefing without a gap in care.
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.
Common questions
How does SOCWS coordinate with conference organizers?
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.
Do you accommodate children of different ages at conferences?
Yes. SOCWS plans age-appropriate activities for different age groups and maintains supervision ratios appropriate to the children attending. Staff ratios are set based on the contracted number and age range.
How is pickup handled at the end of a conference?
SOCWS uses clear sign-in/sign-out procedures at every event. Children are only released to authorized adults listed at registration. Your Event Coordinator can walk through the specifics when booking.
