Learning

“For children who have experienced significant trauma, learning must begin with safety, trust, and connection. Play and project-based learning are powerful approaches to support these students, as they provide gentle, engaging, and meaningful ways to reconnect with the learning process. Through play, children can express emotions, explore relationships, and regain a sense of control in a non-threatening environment. Project-based learning, when guided with care, gives students the opportunity to feel competent, valued, and successful by contributing to something real and purposeful. These methods allow for flexibility, choice, and creativity—essential components for trauma-informed education. By creating a nurturing space where learning feels safe and relevant, we support healing, resilience, and steady progress for every child.”
