| Preventing Suspension and Expulsion | From the Disabilites Services Newsletter, suspension and expulsion of young children are widespread problems. Data shows preschool children are expelled at least three times more than school-aged children. Data consistently indicates large racial disparities, with young boys of color being suspended at disproportionately high rates. Data also suggests early expulsion or suspension predicts later expulsion or suspension. This means children who experience exclusionary discipline practices in preschool are more likely to experience suspension or expulsion in later years. | |

| Primary Care: Six Essential Program Practices | High-quality relationship-based care is central to optimal early brain development, emotional regulation, and learning (Center on the Developing Child, 2012). One of the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC) six essential program practices to promote this type of care is primary care (PITC, n.d.). Consistent, responsive, and meaningful interactions with a primary caregiver build a child’s attachment with a familiar adult (Raikes & Edwards, 2009). Primary caregiving also strengthens relationships with the families of the children in the primary care group, which, in turn, supports the development of trust and security between the infant or toddler and the primary care provider (Lally, Torres, & Phelps, 2010) | Document |
