Instead of just handing down decisions, this working course invites people to think and practice communicating about common early care and education (ECE) and out-of-school time (OST) health protocols. It provides practical tools like handbook statements, staff meeting practice scenarios, and family fact sheets that programs can personalize to their own situations to improve confidence in and compliance with health protocols. Learners will be empowered to communicate the “why” and implement practices with families in culturally responsive ways. (2 hours)
