Social Distancing in Early Care and Education: Feasible or Impossible?
Jun 2 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Do you have questions regarding social distancing in your early care and education program? Join this one-hour chat discussion with pediatrician, Danette Glassy, MD, FAAP. Dr. Glassy will review the CDC guidance for early care and education programs and provide practical strategies for implementation in a variety of early care programs.

The registration link can be used for both the live event and on-demand viewing. The recording will be available to watch on-demand starting 30 minutes after the event ends until June 15, 2020. Because access to the live event is limited and the session may be full, we recommend watching the webinar on-demand. A version with English closed captions will also be posted on the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) in the coming weeks.

Participants will receive an email with a link to download the certificate of attendance, at the end of either the live event or on-demand viewing.
