A simple story to support children in understanding why they see everyone wearing masks.

Dear Families, Providers, and Advocates for Young Children,
As we sail these uncharted waters during these challenging times there are so many dynamic aspects that we are attempting to navigate. One of these is helping young children understand new ways in which adults who love and care for them are trying to help them stay healthy. One of these ways is through the wearing of masks. Anytime we introduce a new concept to young children we try to place it in a context that they can better understand. Our hope is that this social story will provide young children with this context through a relatable and light of heart approach. Please feel free to share with your family, neighbors, colleagues, schools, friends, communities, etc

According to the Center for Disease Control, children under 2 years of age should not wear masks.
Any child wearing masks should never be left unattended.
