\# Brief Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a occupational therapy-led trauma-informed care intervention can improve resilience, self-regulation, coping skills, and emotional health in preschoolers ages 2-4 years from under-resourced neighborhoods with a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the Building Resilience Program (BRP) improve stress management, self-regulation, positive affect, engagement, self-efficacy, coping skills and resilience in preschool children? * Does the Building Resilience Program (BRP) improve resilience, emotional management, and coping strategies in caregivers? Researchers will compare the Building Resilience Program group to a school readiness skills comparison group to see if the trauma-informed intervention produces greater improvements in resilience and related outcomes. Participants will: * Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments measuring resilience, coping skills, emotional health, occupational engagement, and quality of life * Attend 40-60 minute group sessions, 3x a week for 8 weeks (children will participate in either the BRP intervention or school readiness comparison group) * Complete individualized Goal Attainment Scaling to track personal progress (children) * Attend 2-3 in-person caregiver group sessions during the 8-week intervention period plus pre- and post-intervention meetings (caregivers) * Complete a program evaluation questionnaire at the end of the study (caregivers)

Resilience and Engagement
Timeframe: Measured at baseline, week 8 (end of first intervention and wait-list period), and finally at week 16 (end of second intervention period for the waitlist group and follow-up period for the first intervention group)
Self-Regulation
Timeframe: Measured at baseline, week 8 (end of first intervention and wait-list period), and finally at week 16 (end of second intervention period for the waitlist group and follow-up period for the first intervention group)
Emotional Health
Timeframe: Measured at baseline, week 8 (end of first intervention and wait-list period), and finally at week 16 (end of second intervention period for the waitlist group and follow-up period for the first intervention group)
Quality of Life/Life Satisfaction
Timeframe: Measured at baseline, week 8 (end of first intervention and wait-list period), and finally at week 16 (end of second intervention period for the waitlist group and follow-up period for the first intervention group).
Quality of Life (QoL)
Timeframe: Measured at baseline, week 8 (end of first intervention and wait-list period), and finally at week 16 (end of second intervention period for the waitlist group and follow-up period for the first intervention group)
Individualized Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) goals
Timeframe: GAS scores recorded at baseline, and then 3x per week for 8 weeks during the intervention condition, and 2x per week during the waitlist control condition, across all GAS categories (behavior, engagement/participation and resilience).
