CHILD
CARE SOLUTIONS
pittsburg
Child Care Solutions is designed to be a resource for preschool professionals when they notice a child who may be angry/aggressive, overly shy, unable to play with peers, delayed in development, recovering from a traumatic experience and, with the consent of parents, seek the support of a mental health consultant. The mental health consultant will then provide on-site training for preschool staff, in-home counseling for the family, make referrals to community resources and follow the child’s progress as needed. The goal for Child Care Solutions is to find positive interventions that can be used in the preschool setting and that can be reinforced in the home.
