New Webinar! Supporting Young Children and Families in the Return to Early Learning Settings
Thursday, July 15 @ 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT

Young children, families, and professionals in early education settings are all feeling the particular stress of “returning to normal” after the past year of virtual and hybrid learning formats. Many have also experienced loss and upheaval during this period. Children and families may have mixed feelings about returning to in-person settings, and children may need extra academic and social-emotional support. Learn how Brazelton Touchpoints—an evidence-based, relational approach to family engagement—can help providers support young children returning to early learning settings and partner with families in their children’s learning and development. This webinar is 60 minutes.
