Therapeutic Approach Commitment (TAC)
A coordinated, trauma-informed approach to supporting children and families
The Therapeutic Approach Commitment (TAC) is the foundation of how Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery supports children ages birth to five and their families. TAC brings together developmental screening, individualized planning, and coordinated support to ensure each child receives consistent, responsive care.
Through TAC, children build skills in self-regulation, communication, and navigating transitions, while parents and caregivers receive guidance and tools to support their child’s development in everyday environments.
Services Included
Tailored support for young children and caregivers
Through TAC, children and families receive coordinated, trauma-informed support tailored to their individual needs. This may include:
Developmental and social-emotional screening
Individualized support planning for each child
Coordinated support across classrooms, home-based services, and family support
Guidance and coaching for parents and caregivers
Support for transitions and social-emotional development
Individualized sessions for children who need additional support
How the TAC Process Works
Families begin with a conversation and developmental screening to better understand each child’s strengths and needs. From there, staff work with families to create a personalized plan that supports social-emotional development and everyday routines.
Children may participate in individualized or small group support using play-based, relationship-focused strategies. Caregivers receive ongoing guidance and practical tools they can use at home to support their child’s growth.
Progress is monitored over time, and additional support or referrals are provided when needed to ensure each child and family receives the right level of care.
Who Can Benefit
TAC supports children and families already participating in Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery services, as well as families in the community who may benefit from additional support.
This approach may be especially helpful for:
Young children who need support with big emotions, transitions, or social interactions
Parents or caregivers seeking guidance in responding to challenging behaviors
Children developing communication, social, or self-regulation skills
Families looking for additional support to help children remain successful in care or early learning settings
