Why:
Quality Child Care and Early Education plays a key role in the health and stability of our workforce development system. Supporting the service provider professionals within this industry and families accessing care is vital to providing safe, supportive, and highly functioning child care centers and in-home facilities. Over the past two years, the pandemic has had serious impacts on children and their families. Young children have dealt with major upheaval in their lives, parental unemployment, food insecurity, housing insecurity, illness, and even death as Covid has torn through the country. Returning to school or care brings great benefits to children but will also bring a host of challenging behaviors as children struggle to come to terms with the stress and trauma they have and are experiencing.
Oregon is working on a tiered support system for children in the classroom (and their families) to meet the state requirement of no suspensions or expulsions of children in preschools or child care starting in 2026. This is a statewide and multi-agency effort with the goal to ensure effective and aligned trainings and practices at all levels of education, health care, human services, public safety, and workforce development.
Social Emotional health is key to children thriving later in school and in their employment efforts later in life. When a child is expelled from a program, it has an incredibly disruptive and deleterious effect on their self and well-being. They feel unwanted and unsafe. And we know that feeling a sense of belonging and safety is key for children to thrive. For years the data has shown that young children in early education settings are suspended and expelled at alarming rates due to challenging behavior. According to a 2018 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, students who experience exclusion are more likely to repeat a grade, drop out of high school, and become involved in the juvenile justice system. What is needed to reach Oregon’s 2026 goal, and to support children in our state is social emotional supports for children, families, and providers.
The E3 Staff Cohort will be held on a weekly basis for 6 weeks.
