Welcome to the official page for the 2011 Child Care Workshop! It is the only event focused on child care options for infants, toddlers and preschoolers in Houston. With so many options, parents can feel overwhelmed with making the right decision. 

Meet the Host

Shenequa Aranda, Founder and CEO of Premier Baby Planning has a passion for educating parents. As a consultant to expecting and new parents, and as a full-time working mom herself, Sheneq understands the challenges of finding the right child care. Sheneq brainstormed the child care workshop after countless calls from parents who wanted information and her advice on how to make the right decision. Sheneq believes that each family has to find the perfect fit that works within their personal beliefs, budget, and lifestyle. Attend one or both of our workshops for invaluable information regarding one of the most important decisions parents make.
