The school is accepting reservations online and by phone for children ages 3-12, with availability daily during the festival, July 29 through Aug. 2. “A couple of years ago we offered child care at our school for the film festival and had a pretty decent response from people who were from out of town,” said Development Director Missy Russell. “We had pretty good feedback from the parents, and it was fun for the kids.” Plans are to occupy the children with activities and projects so they won’t even miss their parents.
