Policies

Behavior Management/Discipline Policy

 Discipline is a form of guidance and shall be constructive. Its purpose is to help the child to learn social development. The child’s age, intelligence, emotional makeup, and his past experience should be considered when re-directing and guiding the child’s behavior. Children need patience and understanding if they are going to develop great social skills, which make for good leaders. Discipline should be fair and consistent, and every effort should be made to help the child see it as such. Encouragement and praise of good behavior are more effective than punishment. The child's acceptance of discipline and his ability to profit from it depend largely upon his feelings that he is liked and accepted. The behavior management policy shall prohibit children from being subject to any of the following: 1. Physical or corporal punishment which included but is not limited to yelling, slapping, spanking, yanking, shaking, pinching, exposure to extreme temperatures or measures producing physical pain, putting anything in the mouth of a child, requiring a child to exercise or placing a child in an uncomfortable position. 2. Verbal abuse, which included but is not limited to using offensive or profane language, telling a child to “shut up”, or making derogatory remarks about children or family members of children in the presence of children; 3. The threat of a prohibited action even if there is no intent to follow through with the threat; 4. Being deprived of food or beverages;

OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES POLICY

During the school year, your child/children may have to take a field trip from the center. This may or may not be associated with the curriculum. You will be notified at least one week in advance of the scheduled field trip. When taking field trips the children are transported in the daycare vans. A cell phone is always carried in the vans in case of emergencies. **Child/staff ratios are enforced in or out of the center. Note: Our school-agers will be given a schedule of field trips for the summer. IF your child misbehaves on any field trip, you will be notified. Depending on the severity of the conduct, your child may not be able to attend the next scheduled field trip. If a field trip requires a fee payment, the parent will be notified, and the fee must be paid by the due date. Also, a permission form must be signed by the parent. If payment is not made or a permission slip is not signed, then we must assume that your child will not be attending the field trip.
