Children with Severe Behavior Problems: A Survey of Texas Child Care Centers' Responses
Buck, Kathryn A.; Ambrosino, Robert J.
Early Childhood Education Journal, v31 n4 p241-246 Jun 2004
This article presents the findings of an exploratory study designed to look at the issue of removal of children from childcare due to behavior problems. A survey was sent to a random sample of nonresidential licensed day care centers (DCCs) in Texas. Results from the survey indicate that 50% of DCCs have removed a child from care due to behavior problems. In most cases, parents were left to figure out for themselves what to do with their children following their dismissal from care. This and other relationships found in the data are discussed as well as the need for future research in this area.
