Emotional Foundations for Early Childhood Plus (EFFEC+) is a four-month program designed to give early educators the tools to serve and support the young children in their classrooms and their families. Through an understanding of child social and emotional development, and strategies to work with young children, participants learn methods to cope with daily stresses and help children thrive.
We are currently managing a cohort in Jackson, Cass, Clay and Platte Counties in the Kansas City area through funding from the Ewing M. Kauffman Foundation.
