Toolbox Tidbits

Toolbox Tidbits is an online newsletter created especially for child care providers in both the school-age (SA) and early childhood (EC) fields.

History:

In the summer of 2000, Toolbox Training created The Kansas City SAC Connection, a newsletter designed to keep school-age programs in the Kansas City metropolitan area informed about the field. Toolbox Training gathered, developed, and edited content while Teresa Juhl, the Kansas City area SAC Technical Assistant at the time, printed and distributed the newsletter. Due to funding, the newsletter was short-lived, but the still relevant articles have been mixed in with content created especially for the online Toolbox Tidbits. Articles have been archived by category; some categories feature multiple articles.
