“The Base Must Be in Place”
For Head Start Education Managers, Coaches & Preschool Teachers

Every strong pyramid starts with a solid foundation.
In the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations Pyramid Model, the base is not “extra” –
it is the essential work that makes everything else possible. 
 

Before behavior strategies, individualized interventions, or problem-solving plans can truly succeed, children need:

• Predictable relationships
• Safe, nurturing environments
• Consistent routines
• Intentional teaching practices
• Emotionally responsive adults 

This engaging training experience will challenge participants to reflect on one critical question:
“Are we building supports on a strong foundation—
or trying to build the top of the pyramid first?”
