Abstract
: 

  • Much attention in the Early Childhood field has focused on Adverse Early Childhood Experiences that early childhood educators have had growing up.

  • However, limited research looks at the positive experiences early childhood professionals have had. 

  • Research shows just like the Adverse Early Childhood Experiences Scale there is a Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale that assesses10 positive early childhood experiences.
