Young children with disabilities experience trauma at high rates. To mitigate and address the negative effects of trauma on young children’s development, systematic implementation of trauma-informed care is needed. In schools, it is important that all staff members at every level are trained to implement trauma-informed care. In this qualitative study, we explored the experiences of ECSE professionals in one center, including administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, and related service providers, as they planned and implemented trauma-informed care. We used Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory to guide the design of the study. Our findings suggest that ECSE professionals are impacted by factors at the micro-, meso-, exo-, and macrosystem level of the environment, which influenced the extent to which they were able to successfully implement trauma-informed care.
