Types of Suspensions and Expulsions

There are different practices that are considered suspension or expulsioneven if the program doesn’t use those words.

  • In-school suspensionseparates or removes the child from the classroom or activities
     
  • Out-of-school suspensiontemporarily removes the child from the program
     
  • Expulsionpermanently removes a child from a program
     
  • Soft-expulsionwhen a program becomes inconvenient for a family to use or unwelcoming to the point they have little choice but to stop attending
     
  • Disenrollmentpermanently un-enrolls a child from a program
     
  • Early pickupwhen a program requires a child to be picked up earlier than was scheduled

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.
