The Early Childhood Bulletin 

The Early Childhood Family Toolkit  


The DOE, in collaboration with Growing Up NYC, has launched the Early Childhood Family Toolkit. In uncertain times, the Early Childhood Family Toolkit can help answer families’ common question, “Where do I start?” The easy-to-use page features a collection of resources for families with young kids, and can be translated into all 10 DOE languages.
 
Discover learn-at-home tips and activities, health support, and more on the topics families care about. Plus, you can come back every two weeks to find a new featured resource. Pass along this Early Childhood Family Toolkit to your families today!
 
 
Health Literacy Newsletter: Food Allergies and Safety
 
In this month’s Health Literacy Newsletter, we highlight the importance of food allergies.  It is very important that programs continue to ensure allergy safety and emergency requirements are in place during COVID-19, especially for children who are attending in-person learning. This newsletter will provide programs with information about food allergies, types of allergic reactions, prevention measures, treatment, emergency requirements, helpful resources, and professional development on food allergies.
