You can’t stop a disaster from happening, especially when Mother Nature is the force behind it, but you can limit the amount of time your early childhood program is closed. In this edWebinar, award-winning author Andrew Roszak discusses valuable lessons learned from his experience helping early childhood programs rebuild and reopen after a disaster.
Through real-life stories, Andrew provides actionable tools, tips, and resources that are designed to help increase your level of preparedness. Viewers learn about insurance basics, working with support services and relief agencies, and common pitfalls to avoid.
