Is your preschool or daycare center in need of challenging behavior prevention and management?

Why Behavioral Health Consulting?

Preschool expulsions and suspensions  are on the rise at alarming rates. When challenging behavior occurs in preschools and daycares, there are often frustrated administrators, overwhelmed teachers, and heartbroken parents involved.  Research has proven that using evidence-based social-emotional strategies and classroom management practices not only lowers staff attrition and raises staff productivity, but longitudinal studies show a positive correlation between a high quality preschool experience and later success in life. Behavioral Health Consulting in Early Childhood Education is a model that attends to the children displaying tough behaviors, the teachers who need help in responding, and the parents who need support.

The Pyramid Plus Approach

Pyramid Plus, developed by CSEFEL and TACSEI, is a tiered approach which provides classroom-wide and individualized practices designed to prevent and respond to challenging behavior and promote inclusion. Pyramid Plus is evidence-based and backed by data and research. To find out more about training and resources please click here

In addition, I bring a unique-to-Colorado Springs-lens as I use my NeuroSequential Model in Education training to help you and your staff understand how early trauma, emotional states of mind, and brain processing affects behavior. You will learn how to identify learning and response states, and interventions, to be the most effective in working with kiddos who may be dysregulated.
