The Center began as a collaborative of experts in socio-emotional health that was jointly funded by Head Start and the Child Care Bureau. Originally, located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the center has moved to Vanderbuilt University.  It offers a wealth of material on its website. The Briefs are summaries of effective practices to support children's social-emotional development and prevent challenging behaviors. Each Brief describes practical strategies, provides references to more information about the practice, and includes a one-page handout that highlights the major points in the brief. Each is available in English and Spanish. The website includes training modules, videos and is the home of the national pyramid model for states to enhance socio-emotional competent caregiving.
