G2K Webinar: Emerging from COVID-19

In partnership with Community Equity Collaborative, G2K hosted a webinar and panel discussion, Emerging from COVID-19: How ECE Providers Can Help Young Children Adapt, Connect, and Thrive. If you weren’t able to attend, a recording of the event is available. 

During the conversation, the panelists suggested a number of resources that early childhood educators might find helpful to support children transitioning back to ECE group settings. Below you’ll find links to these resources.
