Pyramid Model

Social and Emotional well-being sets the foundation for the development and learning of infants, toddlers and young children.

Pyramid Model Overview

Experts in child care, education, healthcare, family support and mental health have collectively identified the critical need to support and teach families, care givers and educators how to help children develop these competencies. The Pyramid Model provides an evidence-based framework proven to be an effective approach to building social emotional competency at home and in early care and education settings. Explore the site to learn more about this powerful model and reach out for additional information and support. 

Mission

Across all regions and modalities, early childhood programs throughout NY have equitable access to Pyramid Model supports in the form of training, coaching, observations, and data collection which leads to the elimination of exclusionary discipline practices and increases access to programs using the Pyramid Model Framework for children and families.

Vision

All New York State infants, toddlers, young children, and their families will be supported in their social-emotional development to promote their success in school and life

Become a Pyramid Model Trainer, Coach, or Observer

Currently, there are over 50 Early childhood programs across New York State participating in program-wide implementation of the Pyramid Model with more centers, school-based programs, and family child care providers joining each month. To sustain a professional development system that can effectively support the early childhood workforce in the implementation of the Pyramid Model we continuously work to build capacity throughout the State. We build capacity by recruiting, training and supporting the NYS Pyramid Model Workforce. The Pyramid Model Workforce is comprised of Master Cadre Trainers, Coaches, and Observers.

Pyramid Model Implementation Data System (PIDS)

The Pyramid Model Implementation Data System (PIDS) collects data from early childhood programs implementing the Pyramid Model in state-funded cohorts.

PIDS is the engine behind the framework, providing you with critical data points to make well informed decisions about ongoing Professional Development for you and your staff, and helps guide decisions regarding effective and responsive policies, practices, and procedures.
