    Hello everyone, I wanted to thank NAEYC for the opportunity to present my webinar on the virtual institute:  Sleep: Incorporating Programs on Healthy Sleep Habits for Preschool Students and Parents.  I stand ready to help with any questions or further needs to help you empower parents and staff to bring more and better sleep to preschoolers.  Best to all as plans are being made and adjusted to this new normal.  Thank you for all you do for families needing our help now more than ever.

    Interestingly, this is a hot topic amongst  our program's families so I look forward to watching your presentation via demand this weekend.

    Hello Shantel, I hope you had an opportunity to watch my presentation, and that it was helpful.  You are our neighbor as our office is just a few miles from Joyful Blessings!  We've been working in the Brightmoor area and with Development Centers. If we can help further, to bring more and better sleep to your program's families, we stand ready.  Ann

    Yes Ann, I watched the Sweet Dreamzzz session!  It was compact but quality content.  I too work with Development Centers... in fact, my staff and I will be working with Development Centers tomorrow.  I will be presenting the information I learned to a potential sponsor; hoping to get funding so that my staff and I can take your course.  Out of the 20+ years I have been serving as an ECE professional, the last 3 years I have heard more parents express struggles over their children sleeping.  So thank you for sharing.

    Best,
    Shantel
