Position Overview

We are seeking a collaborative School Psychologist to support early childhood programs within community-based child care settings. This unique, primarily non-evaluative role focuses on building the capacity of educators and administrators through consultation, data-based decision making, and implementation of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).

This position offers the opportunity to work preventively and proactively within early learning environments.

The School Psychologist will be supported by a multidisciplinary advisory team guiding implementation across participating programs.

Consultation & Coaching:
- Provide embedded consultation and coaching to early childhood educators and administrators.
- Support staff in understanding child development, behavior, and effective strategies for individual and classroom-wide support.
Collaboration with Related Service Providers:
- Work closely with speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, mental health professionals, and other providers to plan and coordinate interventions using a team-based approach.
Screening & Early Identification:
- Assist in the development and coordination of universal developmental and behavioral screening processes.
- Conduct minimal, targeted assessments when necessary to support team planning and early intervention.
Referral & Liaison Responsibilities:
- Act as a liaison to local school districts when formal special education evaluations are recommended.
- Facilitate connections to Help Me Grow and other early intervention services for developmental evaluations and supports.
Professional Development:
- Help design and deliver professional development for child care staff and administrators on MTSS, behavior supports, trauma-informed practices, and more.
- Receive access to cutting-edge professional development in the latest neuroscience-informed and brain-based educational practices.
Support from Advisory Team:
- Work in close coordination with and receive ongoing guidance from a multidisciplinary advisory team dedicated to high-quality MTSS implementation and continuous improvement across programs.
Documentation & Communication:
- Maintain accurate records of services, recommendations, and team actions
- Ensure clear and timely communication among stakeholders and community partners.
