One of Extension’s ongoing priority programs is professional development trainings for childcare providers, because quality childcare affects entire communities. Since many childcare programs temporarily closed due to COVID-19, Extension began offering virtual trainings at no cost. Participation dramatically increased and feedback indicates the trainings made a positive impact, such as, “The online trainings have been such a blessing and great resource!” and “Thank you for offering free classes as our preschool budget took a big hit!” From April 7 to Oct. 24, Extension Educator Jaci Foged delivered or co-delivered 63 virtual programs to 2,657 participants with in-kind savings of $18,147.
