Program Spotlight
Spotlight On:
Labrecque Family Child Care (FCC)

Gail Labrecque, a family child care provider from Goffstown, commented on her recent experience with the CCAoNH Progressive, Intro and Overview of the Pyramid Model: "[After working on the Environmental Rating Scales (ERS), I was invited] to join a [Progressive] on the Pyramid Model. This was a good and effective way to get my mind back in the game, as they say. This pandemic had me feeling isolated, more so as it continued. Yes, we are already loaded with things to do and remember. But if you think this is a burden, or just an added responsibility or commitment, it is not. It helped me get on track, stay on track, keep my focus where it needed to be, and lifted my spirits when I was already burned out. It helped improve my program for the children I provide care for. They love the physical changes I’ve made! And I love the new focus I have each day!"
iSocial June Update

This pilot provides the program with professional development and technical assistance needed to support long-term implementation of the Pyramid Model.
