Addressing Gaps in Early Intervention Systems

In this Q&A, WestEd Program Director Jennifer Miller explains how infant and early childhood mental health consultation helps caregivers promote mental and relational health, focus on relationships and practices that buffer against stress and trauma, and develop a program culture that promotes the well-being of caregivers, young children, and their families.

This resource collection shares lessons from California’s Inclusive Early Education Expansion Program on helping children with disabilities and children without disabilities learn and play together.

When young children count, investigate, and test ideas through play, they build confidence and begin to see themselves as capable math and science learners. Count Play Explore resources support educators in creating those experiences from birth through 3rd grade.

Educators can draw on whole-child approaches to create supportive and inclusive learning environments for young children with disabilities or developmental differences. In this archived webinar, WestEd’s Linda Brault and Ine Jack highlight key strategies.

Reflections from attendees at the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC) 40th anniversary conference highlight the importance of relationship-based care, shared purpose, and a professional community committed to supporting infants, toddlers, and families.

This training helps family child care providers and center-based educators use the PITC Curriculum to support healthy learning and development from birth to age 3. Registration is open through July 31.
