What if challenging behavior is actually communication? 💭

Join INAEYC Central Region for a virtual Learning Lounge on Trauma-Informed Care & Applied Educational Neuroscience, with guest presenters Dominique Cole and Makayla Thompson of St. Mary's Early Childhood Center.

Explore how trauma, lived experience, and the nervous system shape the way young children respond to stress, and how the nervous system of the helping adult matters just as much.

You'll leave with practical, preschool-focused strategies for building environments rooted in:
✨ Safety
✨ Connection
✨ Co-regulation
✨ Predictability
✨ Trust

📅 October 20, 2026
🕐 1:30 – 2:30 PM ET
