This program for early childhood educators (birth–kindergarten) developed by Nebraska Extension continues to grow by leaps and bounds! Extension Educators Jaci Foged and Hayley Jackson delivered CHIME to 54 participants in Lancaster County, impacting 1,590 children. Feedback indicates the trainings made a positive impact (see quote by Kristin Burkhardt in this e-newsletter). Hayley piloted a newly adapted version of CHIME to target providers working with children ages K–5th grades. Jaci began coordinating a four-year, multi-state Early Head Start University Partnership grant for CHIME which focuses on supporting Early Head Start/Head Start staff well-being.
