This 3-part series will explore the critical building blocks of emotional development, beginning in the first three years of life. Participants will learn how early experiences shape attachment styles and establish enduring emotional patterns. The series will also examine how Montessori prepared environments contribute to a child's sense of basic trust during the formative early years. Discover the significant and long-term consequences of developmental trauma on a child's physical, emotional, and social development.

Early Trauma Awareness: Understand the lasting effects of early, repeated stress or trauma and how children’s neurological pathways are formed. Comprehend how the adversity experienced in early life can lead to physical and cognitive impairment and poorer overall health throughout life. Learn how these early experiences shape brain development, behavior, and relationships and how adults can offer healing, safety, and support.
