Vivien Firta
Consultant | Early Childhood Education & Professional Development
About
With over two decades in early childhood education—including program leadership, coaching, and consulting—I support educators and leaders in building inclusive, emotionally supportive environments where both children and staff can thrive.Through my BELONG™ Framework (Belonging Before Behavior), I help programs move beyond surface-level behavior management to focus on regulation, connection, and sustainable classroom practices. My work translates research into practical, classroom-ready strategies that educators can implement immediately.I specialize in: • Professional development and staff training • Behavior support through a regulation-first lens • Leadership coaching and team culture development • Family communication and alignmentMy goal is simple: to equip early childhood professionals with tools that reduce challenging behavior, strengthen relationships, and create more regulated, connected classrooms.
