Great government site with a Spanish Language option. I like the page on Child Care Options https://childcare.gov/consumer-education/childcare-options and that you can search for resources from your state https://childcare.gov/index.php/state-resources-home,
The following resources are from Head Start, and as long as the author is Head Start they are public domain. You can openly use their handouts and even video transcripts. Just watch for things that they link out to that they don’t own as those are likely copyrighted.
