Families often wonder what difference a multi-center program makes. The answer is simple: consistency, expertise, and the power of the Pyramid Model.
At Healthy Kids, we use the nationally recognized Pyramid Model across all of our centers. This means that no matter which location your child attends, they experience the same nurturing environment, clear expectations, and positive behavior supports. In contrast, single-site programs often vary widely depending on staff experience, resources, and training.
Ask Yourself-
Do I want a center with systems, training, and experience across locations that teach good behaviors?
Am I looking for consistency and reliability so that children hear the same messaging from everyone?
The Multi-Center Advantage
Consistency Across Locations
Every Healthy Kids site follows the Pyramid Model framework, ensuring that children hear the same positive language, practice the same routines, and learn the same social-emotional skills wherever they are.
Access to Resources & Training
With multiple centers, our staff benefit from shared professional development, coaching, and resources that small independent programs often can’t provide.
Built-In Support Systems
Families can count on backup coverage, standardized procedures, and a strong network of educators and administrators—all trained in the Pyramid Model.
Proven Results
Research shows the Pyramid Model improves children’s social-emotional skills and reduces challenging behaviors. Our multi-center structure helps us maintain these results at scale.
What to Look For
✅ Posters with clear rules and expectations (be kind, gentle touches, listening ears).
✅ Visual reminders of social-emotional skills in classrooms.
✅ Evidence of family engagement activities.
How the Pyramid Model Strengthens Multi-Center Programs
The Pyramid Model is designed to be scalable and sustainable. Its three tiers—nurturing relationships, targeted supports, and individualized interventions—provide a consistent framework that can be applied across all our centers. This ensures every child, at every location, benefits from the same high-quality practices.
Partnership with Families
Families are children’s first teachers, and our multi-center approach gives parents a consistent partner no matter where they are. We share tools, tips, and communication across all locations, so home and school work hand-in-hand to support children’s growth.
Choosing a multi-center program means choosing consistency, resources, and proven strategies. With the Pyramid Model at the heart of what we do, Healthy Kids delivers the same high-quality care and social-emotional support in every classroom.
