With severe weather becoming more frequent in the spring, the Illinois Early Learning Project is highlighting resources to help educators prepare for safety drills and warnings.
Their blog Planning Ahead: Preparing for a Safety Drill provides insight into ways to make safety drills less stressful for children when they happen.
Along with the blog, IEL offers resources for educators, including tip sheets, videos, podcasts, standards, and guidelines for a variety of topics to help educators and parents alike. Many of these resources are available in common languages spoken by families of young children in Illinois.
The Illinois Early Learning Project is a source of evidence-based, reliable information on early care and education for families, caregivers, and teachers of young children in Illinois.
