This course is designed to help child care providers to understand and address children’s developmental challenges that may arise from the trauma of being homeless. What happens in early childhood can impact a person for a lifetime. In young children, stress resulting from a major trauma such as poverty and homelessness, can weaken the developing brain and can lead to lifelong problems. By providing effective early education programs, the consequences of early trauma can be prevented and society can ensure that all children are prepared for school and life success.
