Social Distancing for Early Childhood Educators: Strategies for Supporting Students, Families, and Self

As education moves online to support social distancing, early childhood educators are facing a unique challenge: early education is an entirely social experience! In this webinar specifically for teachers of young children, educators and advocates Kisha Reid and Nancy Carlsson-Paige will answer your questions and offer strategies to help maintain connections to students and families, encourage play-based learning, and support children’s – and your own – wellbeing in this challenging moment. Register now, and submit your questions to rinny@commercialfreechildhood.org by Monday morning.

Child development specialist Nancy Carlsson-Paige, EdD was a teacher educator at Lesley University for over 30 years.
