Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS)

Ohio’s Early Childhood Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) uses a multi-tiered framework to support the social-emotional development of young learners from pre-kindergarten through grade three. The framework helps create safe, structured learning environments with clear expectations, consistent routines, and developmentally appropriate practices. Strong family partnerships are central to Early Childhood PBIS, emphasizing trust, open communication, and shared support for children. Aligned with Ohio’s Whole Child Framework, Early Childhood PBIS promotes positive, supportive school environments where young children can thrive.
