Virginia Early Childhood Consultation

VECC services are provided based on program type and need. VECC provides two services in child care centers: 1) Leader-Focused Coaching to build leaders' knowledge and skills to promote relationships, teacher well-being and effective teacher-child interactions and 2) Classroom-Focused Coaching to build foundational class-wide interactions and social-emotional teaching practices, prevent challenging behaviors and improve teacher-child interactions. VECC provides Family Day Home-Focused Coaching to Family Day Home programs which incorporates key elements from both leader and classroom-focused coaching to support their unique structure and needs. Additionally, VECC provides Child-Focused Coaching (limited and as needed) to all program types to improve a child’s social-emotional skills, positive engagement, and reduce challenging behaviors, including through collaboration with families and direct supports (i.e., referrals).
