NAFCC is pleased to offer a layaway plan option for the 2026 National Association for Family Child Care Conference. The layaway plan helps members plan to participate in the annual conference. It allows you to take advantage of the early bird registration fee ($390/NAFCC member) and book your hotel accommodations ($189 + tax ($215.46) per room, per night) and make monthly payments toward these fees.

Note: The maximum number of guests per room is 4, as per hotel policy.

This program is a member benefit, and each registered attendee must be a current member of NAFCC to take advantage of this opportunity.

Terms and Conditions

• Each registrant must be a NAFCC member in good standing to participate in the layaway plan.
• Only hotel costs and conference registration are part of layaway. Pre-conference, Friday night Toast to Quality Reception ticket, Saturday lunch ticket, excursions, airfare and other add-ons cannot be included in layaway plans.
• A deposit of $150 per person is due at the start of the layaway plan option.
• A 8% administrative fee will be applied to the full amount due and is included in the final price.
• Payments will be automatically drafted on the 15th of each month until paid in full.
• Any declined payments via the auto-payment feature must be resolved within 3-5 days. If payment does not clear, you are required to contact accounting@nafcc.org and conference@nafcc.org within 3-5 days from time of decline or your layaway will be canceled on the 5th business day from the date of the decline. A 30% cancellation fee will apply.

If registering as a group, one person must be designated as the point of contact, handle all correspondence, and be responsible for all payments. The point of contact will be the primary name on the layaway plan. If there are multiple registrations on the layaway, then the responsible party must collect the money from the other attendees and pay NAFCC. If a roommate wants to pay their registration on their own, they must set up a separate layaway plan or pay their registration in full by registering via the normal NAFCC registration link (not the layaway link).

Registrant deposits will be secured via the link below. After the deposit is collected you will receive an email with a payment schedule for automatic payments based on your selections.

When regular attendee registration opens, DO NOT register for the conference on the general registration site, if you are participating in the Layaway plan.
