Behavioral Policy
If academic attendance and/or behavior problems should arise, parents will be contacted for a conference to help immediately eliminate any problems. If necessary, parents may be asked to withdraw their child from the center that day.
Discipline
Children are expected to behave in a manner that exemplifies they are willing to learn. Each teacher has the liberty of making and enforcing classroom rules in accordance with administrative policies. The teacher will redirect the child's behavior on the first incident. After this initial teacher interaction, the child is sent to the office for a time-out. If the problem continues, the director will call the parent and have the parent pick up the child for that day. If the child's behavior continues to be disruptive, the director will place the child on behavioral probation and the child will be terminated if the behavior is not improved.
