In recent years there has been a spotlight on the fact that young children are being excluded - expelled! - from child care and preschool settings. The statistics are alarming - with expulsion rates for child care centers being 13 times what they are in k-12 classrooms*.

The data is clear and we must ask - how can we prevent expulsions in ECE? How are communities tackling this issue in support of children and families?

Watch this webinar to hear from our innovative panel, as we discuss what communities are doing to create solutions for the expulsion dilemma, and as we take a moonshot to ensure no child is excluded!
