Safe Sleep in Early Learning Training
Sleep-related death is one of the leading causes of infant mortality, from birth to age 1. Each year, about 3,400 infants in the U.S. die from sleep-related causes, with an average of 3 infant deaths per week here in Georgia. Nearly one-third of babies in the U.S. receive care from an early childcare and education center, and consistently following safe sleep practices is essential for keeping those children safe.
Early care educators are invited to virtually complete this 1-hour training at one of our pre-selected times. Register for the Safe Sleep in Early Learning Training.
