Resources and Supports: Child Care Transitions and Change

The purpose of this tool is to assist directors and administrators in making (re)opening decisions regarding childcare programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to check with state and local health officials and other partners to determine the most appropriate actions while adjusting to meet the unique needs and circumstances of
the local community.

Every Thursday a new “Mindful Moment” if posted under webinars.

Instructions and activity sheets from UNMC geared towards infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
