Our Services

ECTC professionals provide comprehensive training and consultation to childcare programs, providers, and families with children ages birth through 14, focusing on creating supportive environments where all children can thrive.


Consultation to Child Care Centers

The Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (ECMHC) team is funded by the Department of Early Education and Care to provide onsite child behavioral observations, mental health consultation, and training to caregivers of young children throughout Southeastern MA, the Cape & the Islands. The team utilizes the Pyramid Model for promoting the Social and Emotional Development of Infants and Young Children.

Children who exhibit significant social/emotional or behavioral challenges, including aggression, hyperactivity, anxiety, and/or depression are referred for consultation by their childcare program.

Family Support

We partner with families to support the positive development, emotional well-being, and school readiness of young children. We target programming, resources, and services to the most at-risk children, including those who are low income, homeless, disabled, or exhibiting significant mental health concerns.

I am extremely pleased with this program and its group leaders. I feel that anyone with children can benefit from the information being taught in this parenting group. It was fun, informative, and I met other parents.
