  1. Did you know it's Early Care and Education Workers Week of Action December 10 – 16, 2023? The early care and education (ECE) workforce deserve affordable and accessible health care. Take action by sharing these resources in your newsletters, social media, meetings, or conferences. An Office of the Administration for Children & Families

  2. Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the mental health of children, families, and staff daily. If you are looking for additional resources to support children’s mental health and well-being, check out the CDC Early Care and Education Mental health and well-being portal.

  3. The holidays often mean new toys for children. In the excitement of purchasing and opening gifts, we need to remember to read instructions and closely supervise children at play thoroughly. You can provide this Toy Safety Checklist for families and check out this fact sheet on eye injuries created by the National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety.  Prevent Blindness

Please visit our WYNTK resource webpage, which is updated regularly, and the FHSA events list for more information. If there is something else you need guidance on, let us know - we will continue to work with state agencies and partners to answer your questions.
