Creating a Trauma-Informed Culture of Care for Young Children
Child care programs that prioritize educating staff on the impact of trauma for children, youth, and caregivers are called trauma-informed or trauma-sensitive programs. Typically, in trauma-informed programs, policies have been created to help children, youth, and staff who have experienced trauma to actively resist any further traumatization. These policies can have an impact on the entire program, and educators can further develop their own trauma-informed practices for their rooms. This training will help you identify what a trauma-informed program looks like and how elements of trauma-informed practices can be incorporated into your work.

Amanda Holliday-Bembridge
After Dr. Amanda Holliday-Bembridge’s years in the ECE world as a teacher, curriculum writer, trainer, and reflective coach, she combined this knowledge and lived experiences with a focus on holistically strengthening young children’s families. Her mission is to share the incredible bonding power of music to create connections between caregiver/child that significantly impact both human’s ongoing development.
She brings a unique viewpoint stemming from her understanding of the incredible complexity that lies at the intersection of multiple interconnected fields of study. With her ECE background, she deeply understands child development, DAP teaching practices, and the challenges educators face to meet each child’s specific developmental needs. However, as she expanded her understanding of the ECE world by using an Infant Mental Health lens, she began to better understand the intricate systems, both visible and invisible, which have profound implications for the environment in which the child develops and the caregivers who care for them.
