- Stay-safe procedures aim to prepare teachers and program staff to keep calm, take control, and support children and adults during a crisis, versus not knowing what to do and feeling overwhelmed and helpless. This resource outlines key components to include in stay-safe procedures and highlights considerations for the developmental, social, and emotional needs of younger children..

- Understanding and Eliminating Expulsion in Early Childhood Programs, Head Start Program Performance Standards prohibit expulsion due to children's behavior. Research tells us that high-quality, supportive early childhood programs positively affect the lives of infants, young children, and families. Early childhood programs help support young children's readiness for school and lifelong success. Unfortunately, recent data show many children are expelled or kicked out of early childhood settings. When this happens, children do not receive the benefits of early childhood programs. ECLKC, updated July 14, 2023
