GENERAL POLICIES
Child Supervision: Staff actively ensure that our environments are safe, and no child will be left alone or unsupervised at any time. Supervision is everyone's responsibility, so in addition to our staff, parents must also use active supervision techniques to ensure our environments are safe.
Parents must: • Ensure gate and door is closed and secured • No Cell Phone policy when dropping off/picking-up your child. This can be distracting. Give your child your undivided attention. • Ensure your child is signed in and out every day with your full legal signature and exact time. • Hold your child’s hand in the road and parking lot • Encourage children to follow safety rules • Report safety and supervision concerns to staff immediately
Discipline & Guidance: Expectations and limits are set to keep the children safe and help them get along with other children and adults. Positive methods of guidance and re-direction is used with a big focus on social-emotional development to help children gain social skills that allow them to relate and communicate with others in a healthy way. Staff work to build a positive relationship with every child. Every effort will be made to handle discipline problems through redirection, problem solving, re-arrangement of the environment, and staff - parent collaboration. Open-communication with each other is key. One of the ways we will do so is through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) , a program-wide system focused on creating a positive, predictable, consistent, safe environment in which positive behaviors are taught, reinforced and celebrated. We have students follow the 3 B’s to be safe, be respectful and be responsible. Continued teaching, re-teaching, and reinforcing of these expectations and social skills throughout the year will occur. In addition, when misbehavior occurs, we provide feedback, support and interventions to help students learn appropriate behavior. Together, through family and school collaboration, we can create a positive, consistent environment in which students succeed and thrive. If positive behavior intervention and techniques are not effective, a behavior support plan will be developed with the teacher, supervisor and include the parent's collaboration and input. There will be no use of corporal punishment or violation of personal rights. We do not spank, punish or threaten our students . Our program does not have an assigned staff person to work one-on-one for behavior management or health needs.
