As large numbers of child and daycare centers close to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, how can we create learning opportunities at home for our youngest children?
Join us for a virtual Q&A over Zoom with Professor Deborah Stipek and early education director Renee Scott, MA ’05, PhD ’12. Deborah and Renee will answer your questions and provide guidance and strategies that parents and caregivers can apply at home with their littlest learners.
Audience: parents of pre-K children, teachers or instructors interested in working with parents of pre-K children, and anyone interested in supporting pre-K learners.
