Greetings!

We are sharing with you the CDC Monkeypox Partner Alert that contains useful information for ECE partners.  Also, ACF is partnering with CDC to host a webinar on Monkeypox for our partners in Early Childhood and Education on Monday. We invite you to please join and listen to CDC officials who will address questions and concerns regarding what early care and education settings need to know about monkeypox and how to prevent its spread among young children and staff. Please see CDC communication on Monkeypox resources and information about the Monday webinar below, thank you.
