This toolkit was developed to support Early learning and care educators- including classroom teachers, child care providers, family friend or neighbor caregivers, and after school program educators- who work with children from birth through age 12 in early learning and care settings across California. The toolkit provides free access to a curated collection of adaptable, evidence-based resources designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
