Prevent, Teach, Reinforce for Young Children (PTR-YC) is a research‐proven, family‐centered approach used in early childhood settings nationwide to resolve persistent challenging behaviors. The model is intended to help young children whose behaviors are serious enough that they interfere with the child’s ability to engage in positive relationships, form friendships, play with others, and learn expected skills. This training helps you understand how children in your care are communicating their needs, what they find challenging, and strategies to support them going forward.

Registration closes on October 22 at 5pm!
