Early learning providers have spent the last year adjusting to a new way of providing care to the children and families in our communities, and we know it hasn't been easy. 

As a way to offer support, DCYF used CARES Act funding to purchase materials and develop toolkits to use in classrooms when implementing COVID-19 guidance. Toolkits will be given to all licensed providers and distribution will begin in mid-April. 

During this webinar, the PD team will cover the following topics in detail:

• Highlighting the toolkit materials
• Discussing ways to use the materials in the classroom
• Reviewing the COVID-19 tip-sheets and where to access them anytime
