Pyramid Model for Family Child Care Homes

Pyramid Model for Family Child Care Homes

These modules introduce the Pyramid Model as a framework for promoting social-emotional development and addressing challenging behaviors in family child care (FCC) settings. It guides FCC providers through understanding and implementing the Pyramid Model practices within the unique context of FCC. These modules will help providers identify and apply Pyramid Model strategies intentionally across mixed-age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, while addressing the distinctive features of FCC homes, such as flexible schedules, nurturing environments, and close family relationships. Designed for anyone working in or supporting FCC, the content emphasizes building strong, responsive relationships, creating high-quality environments, and teaching social-emotional skills to children of all ages. It also delves into trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices, addresses provider well-being, and leverages family-centered approaches. Practical tools and resources, including several video examples, align with best practices and support the use of Pyramid Model strategies with fidelity.
