Four program-wide expectations have been adopted to promote consistency in messaging for all children, staff, and families: 

"Bee" responsible

"Bee" Respectful

"Bee" Caring

"Bee" Safe. 

The PBIS Implementation team uses the honeybee to represent expectations in the Head Start program, which aligns with the YMCA's core values.

Using a team-based approach, the mission of the PBIS leadership team is to consistently build positive, safe, and enriching environments and relationships with our Head Start students, families, staff, and community. 

The YMCA of Frederick County Head Start has implemented a program-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports plan. This plan follows the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI) Early Childhood Program-Wide PBS Benchmarks of Quality. The PBIS Leadership team consists of all Head Start staff and you the parents. All Head Start staff receives initial training on The Pyramid Model, the tool used to implement PBIS, and ongoing training, discussions, feedback, and support.
