A note from Jennifer Fiechtner, our senior partner:
Friends, we are living in unprecedented and challenging times. It is clear that the role of early childhood educators is a critical one for the nation, and we are deeply grateful for the work you continue to do. We believe it is important to have good resources as we grapple with the global crisis of COVID-19, so we wanted to share some places we are finding good information and support right now. These links are being updated regularly.
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
Johns Hopkins University & Medicine Coronavirus Resource Center
Center on the Developing Child at Harvard – COVID-19 Resources Related to Child Development
PBS – Coronavirus Resources for Parents (also useful for educators and other ECE professionals!)
We also share articles, ideas, and resources on our Facebook page. We hope you’ll join us there and tell us how you are coping with the challenges we are facing.
Take care of yourselves and know we are here for you, now and in the days to come.
Warmly,
Jennifer & Kay
