“…Normalized sample weights were used in all analyses to provide nationally representative estimates, and analyses are presented separately for listed, unlisted paid, and unlisted unpaid providers. This is similar to the approach used in other NSECE analyses (Hooper, ; NSECE Project Team, ). To answer the first and second research questions, descriptive statistics, independent samples t‐ tests, and chi‐square tests were used to examine the prevalence of expulsion, provider characteristics, and differences between providers who reported expelling a child and those who did not.…”

This study explored the prevalence of expulsion in home-based child care (HBCC) settings using a nationally representative sample of HBCC providers from the National Survey of Early Care and Education. In addition to prevalence, enrollment and provider characteristics that predicted expulsion were examined. Although there is increasing awareness of the prevalence of early childhood suspension and expulsion in early care and education settings and the negative effects it has on children's development, few studies have included or focused on HBCC, where many children receive care. This study highlights that many home-based providers, especially listed providers, report that they expelled at least one child within the last year. Significant predictors of expulsion emerged, including enrollment characteristics such as caring for children with disabilities, enrolling more children, and caring for children unrelated to the provider. Provider characteristics, including years of experience, provider education, and provider age, also predicted provider report of expulsion. These results provide insight as to possible strategies that may be effective in reducing expulsion rates in this caregiving context.

Además de la prevalencia, se examinaron el número de inscripciones y las características del proveedor que predecían la expulsión. A pesar de que aumenta el conocimiento acerca de la prevalencia de la suspensión y expulsión en la temprana niñez en escenarios de cuidado y educación temprana y de los efectos negativos que la misma tiene en el desarrollo de los niños, pocos estudios han incluido o se han enfocado en el cuidado infantil con base en el hogar, donde muchos niños reciben el cuidado. Este estudio subraya el hecho de que muchos proveedores con base en el hogar, especialmente proveedores que son parte de una lista, reportan que ellos expulsaron por lo menos un niño dentro del último año. Surgieron significativos factores de predicción de la expulsión, incluyendo características de la inscripción tales como el cuidar a niños con discapacidades, el inscribir a más niños y el cuidar a niños que no están relacionados con el proveedor. Las características del proveedor, incluyendo los años de experiencia, la educación del proveedor y la edad del proveedor, Infant Ment Health J. 2020;41:411-425.

“…For example, 96.5% of unlisted unpaid providers in the analytic sample had a prior relationship to all of the children in their care, compared with 63.4% of unlisted paid providers (NSECE Project Team, 2015b). Therefore, we analyzed listed, unlisted paid, and unlisted unpaid providers separately, which is similar to the approach used in other analyses of NSECE data (Hooper, 2018; NSECE Project Team, 2015a, 2015b), for the three descriptive research questions.…”

This study examines the prevalence of home-based child care providers who report serving at least one child whom they identify as having a disability. Although many families choose home-based child care, researchers know very little about how many home-based providers care for young children with disabilities. Through secondary analysis of the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) data about home-based child care providers, we examined the prevalence and predictors of serving children with provider-reported disabilities among listed and unlisted home-based providers. Descriptive analyses showed that 21.7% of listed providers, 20.5% of unlisted paid providers, and 10.1% of unlisted unpaid providers reported serving at least one child whom they identified as having a disability. These providers reported relatively low rates of connecting families to outside resources and utilizing outside resources to support them in their work with children. Providers who reported higher enrollment and who received child care subsidies were more likely to report serving a child with a disability.
