Grandparents

The IAHE wants to encourage grandparents to become knowledgeable about home education and value the contributions they offer. Therefore, non-homeschooling grandparents may attend for free when registered as part of a Family Registration. The grandparent’s name(s) must be included on your registration form.

Parents of Preschoolers

The IAHE wants to encourage parents of young children to become knowledgeable about home education even before their children reach the age for compulsory education. Parents whose oldest child is five or under and is a first-time attendee to the IAHE convention are eligible for a discounted family registration. Parents of Preschoolers coupon codes are limited and only apply to pre-registration, so don’t delay! Contact our registration coordinator for details.

Children & the Convention

Children are welcome throughout our convention. Please be sensitive to the other attendees and try to sit toward the back of the room so that you can easily take your children out if they become disruptive. Please be aware that sessions are recorded. We also ask that you keep seats available for adults and allow some of your little ones to sit on your laps or on the floor by you if additional seating is needed. All children in the Exhibit Hall age three (3) and younger must be carried or in a stroller. This is for their safety and the safety of others.

Learning Express

Within the Exhibit Hall and included in either type of registration, The Learning Express offers a program for children to enjoy.

Teens - CREW 4:12

Teens are encouraged to be a part of CREW 4:12. Information coming soon.

**Space is limited. Register early. Teens must attend both days and have a parent on site during the convention.

Nursing Mothers

Nursing mothers are welcome in all of our workshops. Looking for a moment of privacy? Visit our Nursing Mothers’ Room.

Special Needs Families

Bringing a child to the convention who needs a little extra sensory input to keep calm and busy while you shop and learn? IAHE will be lending out a limited number of sensory bags on a first come, first served basis. Bags will include some of the following: bean bags of different textures, tagged fabric, glitter bottles, and other sensory items for your youngsters to enjoy.

Need a moment to decompress? Visit our Quiet Room.

Volunteers

The IAHE is an all-volunteer organization and we certainly need help with many tasks and events throughout the year, including our Convention. This year, we have merged our volunteer program with a teen/young adult staffing program. (Information on this teen program is available on the website.) If you enjoy being involved through serving, please send an e-mail to volunteer@iahe.net for more information.
