The Model

Start Well is a program dedicated to helping to build the capacity of Early Care and Education providers and prevent expulsions in preschool by promoting social and emotional development, preventing challenging behaviors, and providing developmentally appropriate individual behavior support for children showing ongoing, persistent challenging behaviors.

Using two evidence based practices – the Pyramid Model and the Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Model – we work collaboratively with ECE provider staff to implement a multi-tiered system to support every child’s social and emotional development.
