Coronavirus – COVID 19 Update 3/13/20
As you may be aware, state officials have announced that there are known exposures of Coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the State of Delaware. While these individuals are affiliated with the University of Delaware, they have no direct connection to the Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood (DIEEC).
The Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood (DIEEC), together with our state partner, the Office of Early Learning, continues to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our work. Out of an abundance of caution, effective immediately, the DIEEC will not be holding in-person activities.
