Join us for UDL in Action: From Framework Overload to Focused Impact, a FREE four-part virtual webinar series designed for California’s early childhood professionals. Explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can transform Universal Preschool by reducing barriers, honoring learner variability, and creating equitable opportunities for every child to learn, play, and thrive.

Across four sessions, participants will explore building the foundation, belonging by design, UDL as a planning lens, and UDL in practice—with an emphasis on intentional classroom design, play-based learning, collaborative planning, and reducing barriers before they occur.

Did you know that in Sacramento County, a trusted family friend or neighbor can legally care for your child? It's called FFN care — Family, Friend & Neighbor — and it's one of the many options available to Sacramento families.

A Family, Friend, or Neighbor (FFN) caregiver is a license-exempt provider — often a grandparent, relative, friend, or neighbor — who cares for a child in their own home or the child's home, limited to their own child and children from one other family.

Every week we're highlighting a different part of our mixed delivery early learning system because YOU have choices. 👉 bit.ly/SacFindCare
