Sponsored by the Community Asthma Coalition of Eastern Maine, this training will be led by Cindy Milles, a preschool educator certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. As the number of children with asthma in Maine is increasing, child care providers and teachers need to better understand asthma and how to best deal with children with asthma.

This 3-hour educational session will include a slide presentation, hands-on demonstration of asthma action plans and ways to improve child care environments. Free teaching aids will be provided to participants. The training is free, but enrollment is limited. To register, call Eleanor at Penquis CAP RDC at 941-2840 ext. 103 by Monday, February 11.
