Abstract

The importance of this study is driven by the increased awareness surrounding the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the growing number of children who are exposed to adversities throughout childhood. Moreover, this study is meant to highlight how exposure to ACEs in the first five years of life negatively impacts the developing biological system, to uncover the ways early intervention services has a positive impact on the child, and what trauma informed strategies early childhood educators can use to better support the needs of their students who are exposed to ACEs.
