Healthy at Home:
A Toolkit for Supporting Families Impacted by COVID-19
In order to serve educators and families during the COVID-19 crisis, ReadyRosie developed this free toolkit as a resource to support families with information and resources for supporting the children in their care. The current content on this site will be available throughout the summer. We invite educators to explore ReadyRosie’s complete family engagement platform to help schools and programs partner with families throughout the summer and into the new school year.

Modeled Moment: Self-Talk
Talking to yourself is a good thing when your newborn is nearby! Expose your baby to the sounds and patterns of language by describing out loud what you are doing. For example, "I'm folding the laundry that I just washed. It smells so clean and fresh! This is the blue towel that we used for your bath."
