Understanding Trauma-Informed Childcare in Ontario, Oregon

At Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery, we believe that every child deserves a nurturing, predictable environment where they can learn, grow, and heal. Our trauma-informed childcare program in Ontario, OR was created to meet the needs of children who have experienced stress, loss, or instability — helping them build trust, confidence, and emotional strength from the very beginning.

 

 

What Makes Care “Trauma-Informed”?

 

Trauma-informed care means recognizing that every child’s behavior tells a story. Our teachers and caregivers are trained to notice signs of stress, respond with empathy, and create structure that helps children feel secure.

 

In practice, that means our classrooms are calm, consistent, and focused on connection before correction. Children learn that adults are safe, predictable, and responsive — an essential foundation for healthy development.

 

 

 

Key Features of Our Therapeutic Classrooms

  • Low teacher-to-child ratios ensure each child gets the individual attention they need.
  • Consistent routines help children know what to expect each day, reducing anxiety.
  • Play-based learning encourages communication, cooperation, and emotional regulation.
  • Parent partnerships give caregivers tools to extend trauma-informed practices at home.

 

These approaches have helped children across Malheur County and the Treasure Valley reach developmental milestones and thrive in school and social settings.
