Individual Coaching & Consultation
One-on-one coaching for early childhood directors, teams, and educators who are ready to create calmer classrooms, stronger relationships, and truly inclusive programs. Together, we look closely at what is happening in your setting right now and design practical, sustainable changes grounded in Pyramid Model practices and developmentally appropriate guidance.
Who is this Coaching for?
Program Directors & Leaders
As a leader, you would like to:
- Build a culture of reflection, collaboration, and shared responsibility
- Lead your team through change with clarity and confidence
- Strengthen Inclusive practices across classrooms
- Respond to challenging behaviours in ways that align with your values
Educators & Classroom Teams
As educators, you would like to:
- Communicate more effectively with families and your leadership team
- Feel more confident responding to big feelings and challenging behaviours
- Embed social–emotional learning throughout the day
- Make inclusion and equity visible in your routines, environment, and curriculum
Inclusion / Support Roles (Assistants, one-on-one educator etc.)
As an additional support, you would like to:
- Align your work with inclusive practices and your program's philosophy
- Bridge the gap between recommendations and day-to-day practice
- Collaborate with educators in a way that feels supportive, not evaluative
Coaching gives you a thinking partner, a clear framework, and concrete next steps.
What to expect
Coaching can be offered virtually (video call) or/and, when feasible, on-site in your program.
One primary coaching relationship
You work directly with your assigned coach. Depending on your goals, sessions may include just you or occasionally invite specific team members into a session.
Focused practice-based coaching sessions
The coaching would happen in two parts: on-the-floor and off-the-floor coaching sessions. The on-the-floor coaching will include supporting your practices through a video call, pre-recorded videos, or in-person visits. The off-the-floor coaching will include reflection and problem-solving together on your goals. These sessions will be long enough for reflection, problem-solving, and planning—short enough to fit into your schedule.
Frequency that matches your goals
Most educators or programs begin with bi-weekly sessions and adjust over time as you gain momentum and confidence.
Practical follow-up
Between sessions, you'll have small, realistic action steps to try, plus resources, templates, or reflection prompts as needed.

Free Consultation
We meet for a 20–30 minute call to:
- Discuss your goals and current challenges

Shared Coaching Plan
If we decide to move forward, you receive a brief, written coaching plan outlining:

This becomes a flexible roadmap that we adjust as you grow.
Ongoing Coaching Sessions
We meet regularly to:
- Celebrate successes and troubleshoot roadblocks
- Reflect on what's working and what's hard
- Connect challenges back to inclusive practice
- Co-create strategies, visuals, scripts, or tools you can use right away
Review & Next steps
At agreed points (for example, every 6 sessions), we:
- Decide whether to continue, pause, or shift focus
- Revisit your original goals
- Highlight key shifts and wins
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I need coaching for?
This depends on your goals. Some clients work together for a focused 4-6 week block around a specific challenge; others choose ongoing support across a school year to sustain implementation and support new staff. We can decide this together in your coaching plan.
Can my whole team be involved if this is called "Individual Coaching"?
The primary relationship is with one main coachee (often a director, supervisor, or lead educator). When it serves your goals, we can invite specific team members into a session, or identify ways for you to share and model strategies with your team. If you are looking for full-team or group coaching, we can explore that on our call.
Do you offer in-person coaching?
Depending on your location and schedule, limited in-person visits may be possible for observations, team meetings, or intensive days. Travel fees may apply. We can discuss this on your discovery call.
Do you only coach people who are already using the inclusive practices?
No. Inclusive practices is a core that guides our work, but you do not need to be "doing it perfectly" or formally implementing it. Coaching can help you get started, deepen what you're already doing, or bring it to life in your unique context.
What if I need to reschedule a session?
Life in early learning is unpredictable. With at least 24 hours' notice, sessions can usually be rescheduled. Full details are outlined in the coaching agreement you'll receive before we begin.
