Forever Friends is NYS Pyramid Model program. The pyramid model is, a framework for supporting social and emotional development. Our trained team of caregivers create classroom environments that are highly effective for growth and development As a team we promote engagement in learning by building positive relationships between children, families and staff. Social emotional skills are taught explicitly and built through guided practice. Individualized support is given to children who need more targeted support to master the skills needed; to identify feelings, develop empathy, practice self regulation, understand and use problem solving solutions, and build friendship skills. Our handcrafted curriculum incorporates developmentally appropriate learning based off off of NYS Early Learning Standards. We use age appropriate assessment tools to screen for developmental delays in our children and welcome early intervention therapy when it is needed.
