The Child Care concentration of the Military Families Learning Network is proud to announce this addition to our Child Care and Military Families web conference series.
In this web conference, we will:
- Explore military family life and military culture as an important part of a young military-connected child's developing self-concept.
- Discuss ways that child care professionals can respect and reflect children's military identity and interests within the child care environment and curriculum.
- Consider what can be learned by observing the military "reflections" in young children's play and conversation, and how we can use those insights to support them.
CE credit is not available for this webinar.
