The federal government is currently in a shutdown. At this time, there are no immediate impacts to federally funded child and family programs operated by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. Families should continue to access care and services as usual.
We are monitoring the situation closely with federal partners and will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.
There are different practices that are considered suspension or expulsion—even if the program doesn’t use those words.
All child care programs are required to have clear behavior policies. The policy should explain for staff and families how the program will respond to and find solutions for puzzling and challenging behavior.
It’s important for parents and providers to understand the policy of the program. The behavior policy should be reviewed with families at the time of enrollment. If you have questions or aren’t clear about the program’s policy, ask your child’s provider for more information.
