This initiative partners with communities to implement evidence-based practices that enhance the social-emotional development of children, birth through age 8.
Rooted in Relationships is an initiative that focuses on supporting children through Pyramid Model Implementation with training, coaching support, and collaborations. With Rooted, participating programs have experienced a decrease in children’s challenging behavior and staff and family turnover. They’ve also seen increases in children’s social skills, staff and family satisfaction, caregiving knowledge and confidence, and positive program changes in overall quality.
