Greetings! We hope this message finds you well during the summer season. In this edition, we’re excited to share some of the activities that are happening here at DIEEC. 

First, we have a variety of professional learning activities designed to meet your needs. Check out our microlearning series tailored to support new educators in Delaware, along with some highlights from the variety of professional learning experiences that are now available on our training calendar. Notably, we’re featuring an opportunity for family child care educators to strengthen positive interactions through personalized coaching – there are a few spots open, so sign up today.

Make sure to also take a look at the Let’s Go Outside initiative. Applications for the next round are now open! In addition, we invite you to save the date for the second annual First State Family Child Care Conference. Mark your calendars, and we hope to see you there.
