Lancaster County Rooted In Relationships
|
Lancaster County Rooted in Relationships partners with communities to implement evidence-based practices that enhance the social-emotional development of children, birth through age eight. Supports communities to implement the Pyramid Model and establish a multi-disciplinary stakeholder team charged with developing and implementing a long-range plan to influence the early childhood systems of care to support the healthy social-emotional development of children. The RIR Pyramid Model implementation offers center-based and home-based child care providers with Pyramid Model training and ongoing coaching support for the implementation of positive strategies to promote young children's social-emotional development and skills. Providers participate in training, coaching, and collaboration meetings for three years. This project includes professional development and individual coaching for childcare providers, individual child assessment, and access to grants for additional social-emotional development materials.

The interactions in a child’s earliest years are critical to future success in learning, social competency and prevention of mental health problems. The social-emotional development that takes place during this time is strongly influenced by the quality of the relationship between young children and their primary caregivers. This importance has been recognized in Nebraska both by public and private studies, planning efforts and initiatives. Nebraska AEYC partners with Nebraska Children and Families Foundation to bring the Rooted in Relationships package to center-based and family child care programs in Lancaster County.
