During the cold months in the middle of winter, it can be helpful to think about what lies ahead.
 
Our editorial focus this month is self-care. Self-care is an especially important topic for all of you who spend your time caring for others. In our Voices from the Field section, we hear from a family child care educator who found successful strategies to prioritize her own goal of working towards her CDA. We also highlight two wellness initiatives for family child care educators below, “Make Time for Me Mondays” and “Shining the Light on You” – check them out! We’re planning to share additional self-care resources and stories throughout February, and we encourage you to share how you think about self-care.
