Early Childhood Consultation Partnership
Caring for young children and facilitating their healthy growth and development is a huge responsibility. ECCP offers support, education and consultation to childcare providers. The program provides early intervention/ prevention services that promote enduring and optimal outcomes for young children and their families.
Who we serve:
- Providers at community-based childcare settings of children birth to five who exhibit challenging behaviors and/or social and emotional needs
- Families of children attending community based childcare centers who exhibit challenging behaviors and/or social and emotional needs
How the program works:
- Parents, teachers, directors, medical providers and Help Me Grow child development info-line (1-800-505-7000) can refer children to the program.
- A masters-level mental health consultant helps identify young children’s behavioral and/or social emotional needs and respond with appropriate services and/or referrals.
- Recommendations and strategies to support the child at home and in their childcare setting are offered.
- Child and classroom concerns are addressed early.
Linkages to community based education, and mental health services are also provided.
Study finds Early Childhood Consultation Partnership effective in reducing classroom behavior problems in children.
