Early learning programs and classrooms are experiencing challenges as young children come to school with fewer social experiences, less exposure to a preschool environment, and greater mental health needs. By engaging in professional development, early learning staff will acquire the skills needed to build nurturing and responsive relationships with young children, create high-quality supportive learning environments, and apply targeted social and emotional support to all children.
