Coronavirus & Kids: Resources for Caregivers

In an effort to fight the coronavirus outbreak, schools across Canada are making the difficult decision to close to protect the wider community. Children are losing valuable learning and instruction time as a result.

No matter the age, structure and learning are vital for children. The earliest years are the most important for a child’s development, and missing out on learning could have devastating impacts on their future growth. For tweens and teens, education is key to develop their planning, problem-solving, decision-making and social interaction skills.

Save the Children is committed to helping children and families during this uncertain time by providing learning resources for Canada’s youngest learners. Your school and province may be providing guidance on supporting families and children to keep up studies at home. As the world’s leading expert on childhood, we’re also here to help by providing tools and tips you can trust for parents, caregivers, teachers and all those who care about children in crisis.
