• Behavior Management Policy:  Discipline problems are handled in a quiet, reassuring manner, with positive reinforcement. More difficult situations are resolved by removing the child from the group and explaining quietly why the type of behavior is unacceptable. The child is welcomed back to the group after he/she has had time to reflect on his/her behavior. Persistent behavior problems are brought to the attention of the parents so that both parents and staff are able to discuss ways to solve the problem.  Behavior management strategies will be adapted to meet the developmental needs of each child and will take into consideration a child’s inclusion support needs.  The daily schedule is flexible, inclusive of children with additional support needs, and takes into consideration the individual developmental needs of the children.  We do not permit, practice or inflict any form of physical punishment or verbal or emotional abuse upon, or the denial of physical necessities, to any child in attendance.
