Project LAUNCH is a federally funded program to promote wellness of young children birth through eight years of age. Project LAUNCH defines wellness as a state of positive physical, emotional, social, and behavioral health. The goal of Project LAUNCH is to identify and address mental and behavioral concerns before they develop into serious emotional disturbances. Project LAUNCH focuses on the adults who care for young children (birth through age eight) including healthcare providers, parents and caregivers, and child care providers.
The Pyramid Model is a framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development by focusing on the child care providers who care for them. The Pyramid Model provides guidance for early childhood special education personnel, early intervention personnel, child care providers, and families. This model has proven effective in reducing challenging behaviors, promoting the social and emotional development of young children, identifying mental health and/or behavioral concerns, and reducing burnout of providers who care for these children.
Project LAUNCH is seeking a contractor to deliver comprehensive Pyramid Model training to child care providers to ensure their understanding of social and emotional development and positive behavior support. To build the capacity of child care providers across Hawaiʻi to promote the healthy social and emotional development of children ages 0–5 by integrating the evidence-based Pyramid Model framework in child care programs. The project aims to enhance inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices in child care settings.Contact PersonTholen, IanEmail ian.tholen@doh.hawaii.gov Phone808-733-9062General CommentsProcurement OfficerWilliam AakhusAttachments HIePRO Scope 2025 Early Childhood Pyramid Model Implementation Support.pdf
