Children have been impacted by COVID-19 in many different ways and are acutely aware of the changes in their everyday life. For some children, early childhood education programs provide a safe haven that is predictable and safe, and children now may feel disconnected from their friends and family. For other children, the transition back to their routines and to early childhood education settings may be especially difficult. As with any difficult situation, parents, teachers, and other supportive adults should explain these events and recent changes in age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate ways. Many of the strategies discussed in this article can be adapted to use with worries surrounding COVID-19 and the return to school routines. (author abstract)
