Our School Discipline Policy
Our school is committed to the well-being of each and every child. In order to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, we expect a certain degree of cooperation from each child and parent as well. Our means of disciplining unacceptable behavior on the part of a child is to separate the child from the rest of the group. This is referred to as a "time out" and is limited to 3-5 minutes in duration. During this time, the child is kept under direct supervision and no snack or meal will be withheld from the child. Under no circumstances will the child be mistreated or mishandled. If "time outs" become a regular routine and appear ineffective, a parent/teacher conference should be held to discuss the situation. If there is little or no improvement and the child's behavior becomes a distraction to the rest of the group , termination of enrollment may become necessary. Corporal punishment is not part of our program and will not be tolerated on the part of any staff member.
Enrollment Policy
STATE REGULATIONS require that each child have a health form completed and signed by a physician and kept on file at the center.
SICK POLICY-In case of illness there will be no credit issued. When a child is dismissed from school because of a contagious illness, a 24 hour period after the start of medication is required before your child can return to school. Your child should remain at home until they are able to participate in a normal school day, including outdoor play. In addition, all medications will need to have the child's name clearly marked, as well as the dosage. You will need to sign a medication form each day you bring medication for your child.
RETURNED CHECK FEE-There will be a $20.00 service charge applied on all returned checks. After 2 returned checks, payments must be made in cash.
REASONS FOR DISMISSAL-The following are reasons that our school would be inclined to dismiss your child from our center:
-Frequent delinquent or non-payments
-On-going behavior problems that become disruptive to our program
-Failure to pick up your sick child within one hour of being notified
-Frequent late pick-ups
WITHDRAWAL-A two week written notice of withdrawal is required.
