Swine Flu Training

Child Care Development Service in collaboration with Linfield College of Nursing developed an on-line training for child care providers. This 52 page study material, which has been updated for the current flu strain, is currently available on our website to the public for free.

This training can be viewed at www.childcaretrainingtogo.com. Just click on Pandemic Flu to link to the study material. I hope you take the time to view this and get this information out to the public. It will save people much time as there are many resources and links in this study.
