Disaster Services
Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your
neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services
water, gas, electricity or telephoneswere cut off?
Its important that you be prepared for possible disasters and other emergencies.
Natural or humancaused disasters can strike suddenly, at anytime and anywhere.
Offers services and programs that touch people both locally and globally. When
war, civil unrest or disaster cause families to separate, an inability to communicate
with each other or even know if a loved one is still alive only deepens the mental
and emotional anguish caused by their separation.

NAEYC
The PITC's videos, guides, and manuals are designed to help child care
managers and infant/toddler care teachers become sensitive to infants' cues,
connect with their family and culture, and develop responsive, relationshipbased care. The training materials provide the foundation for a style of care in
which infant/toddler care teachers study the infants in their care, reflect on
and record information about the children's interests and skills, and search for
ways to set the stage for the child's next learning encounters.
