Fundraising & Donations REACH CYA’s child care programs rely solely on tuition payments to meet its financial needs. We may sponsor fundraising events to help purchase equipment and to offset operating costs. REACH CYA welcomes donations of new and gently used toys and games. Behavior Management Policy Behavior guidelines have been developed to help children acquire and improve self-control and to learn techniques to resolve conflicts peacefully through positive guidance and communication. REACH CYA rules are collaboratively set by staff and students together and are posted and reviewed as necessary. In addition, a Student Behavior Agreement is required to be signed by each parent and child upon enrollment. Staff are trained to guide children in becoming responsible for their own actions and to help them grow in respect for the rights and feelings of others. REACH CYA staff members operate under the following policies: 1. Injurious treatment of children is not tolerated under any circumstances. 2. No corporal punishment will ever be used. 3. No child shall be subjected to cruel or severe punishment or verbal abuse, including 5. No harsh or profane language or implied threats promising physical punishment shall be used. We recognize and praise appropriate and positive behaviors. A staff member’s response to inappropriate or negative behaviors may include redirecting the child’s activity, reasonably discussing the problem, setting limits, providing age-appropriate consequences and giving positive attention to desirable behavior. The child may be directed to an area of the room to participate in an activity that is calming. This approach gives the child an opportunity to reflect on his/her actions as staff encourage self-control and independence by providing meaningful choices. statements that are shaming, frightening or humiliating. 4. No child shall be denied food or toileting as punishment.
