A grassroots and collaborative approach has emerged in several Pennsylvania communities to provide a cross-sector Rapid Response Team (RRT) deployed to early childhood education (ECE) programs when an early care and education program is struggling with the challenging behavior of a child who is at immediate risk of expulsion.
Because of the interest in many other regions to do the same, OCDEL has invested Preschool Development Grant funds to support the expansion regional Rapid Response Teams to pilot and evaluate over the lifetime of the grant award (through December 2025*). Full scale implementation in 18 of 19 of the Regional Early Learning Resource Centers began August 1, 2024.
A grantee in ELRC Region 7 will begin a 6-month planning phase, with implementation beginning February 2025. Provision of trauma sensitive, human-centered, collaborative short-term support in ECE programs struggling to support a child(ren) with challenging behavior at risk for expulsion.

Facilitate the development of a case based collaborative plan of action.

The Rapid Response Team approach is guided by the Rapid Response Team (RTT) Toolkit and Training Approach , a resource whose development was supported by the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) to provide a framework for additional Pennsylvania communities to explore collaborative capacity to implement a similar approach within existing early learning and cross-sector partnerships and funding streams.
