Good Start

The Good Start Program is based upon a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) and is committed to helping early childhood educators (supporting children ages 0-6) develop their own expertise. The new program will accomplish this through an innovative system of support including:

Free trainings customized for each center provide a foundation of knowledge and expertise focused on social and emotional development and addressing challenging behaviors that will enable early childhood educators to support all learners in their classrooms.
In addition, a Good Start Consultant provides ongoing coaching to help early childhood educators analyze data and problem solve next steps, if they need more support.
The Good Start Program works with early childhood staff and directors to ensure all young children have access to receive early intervention support and eligible services. The Good Start Consultant works with teachers and directors to support families to initiate the process for a special education evaluation through their local school district. The Good Start Program will continue to provide consultation to early childhood programs as they successfully include children with significant support needs.

Through the use of a multi-tiered coaching system, educators will become knowledgeable and empowered to implement the necessary supports to better meet the needs of all of their students.

To make a request for additional support, early childhood educators should contact Johanna Mabry at (734) 994-8100 ext. 3087.
