Policy Paper – Addressing Early Education and Childcare Expulsion

Policy Paper from the American Academy of Pediatrics. A portion of the abstract reads:  An important goal of early childhood education is teaching emotional self-regulation within the context of a safe, stable, nurturing environment. Expulsion of young children ignores underlying emotional and behavioral concerns, disproportionately affects children of color (Black or Hispanic), males, children with disabilities, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and has long-term consequences on educational and life success.
