Code of Conduct
All members of my home-based program are accountable to the Code of Conduct.
All will:
Treat themselves and others with respect
Be courteous, fair, kind and honest to others
Be respectful of others and their belongings
Listen to and respect others
Play safely and respectfully and follow the rules of the playroom and backyard
Use appropriate language with others
Problem solve by talking and listening
Act in a way that will facilitate a positive learning environment for all
Help care for and respect all toys, equipment, books, environment, etc.
Inappropriate / Unacceptable behaviours will result in one or more of the following depending on age / severity of the incident / or previous incidents or patterns of behaviour.
a) Verbal redirection and coaching on better choices
b) Quiet time away from peers but within play area followed by a verbal plan for future when ready to discuss
c) Written documentation of Incident / Parent Signed
If a child is experiencing a serious pattern of inappropriate & or physically dangerous behaviour a parent/caregiver conference with written action plan to successfully aid the child in managing the behavior will occur with a deadline for improvement or termination will result. Please note depending on the severity and risk to myself or others I reserve the right to discharge a child for physically dangerous behaviour immediately without the attempt of an action plan.
I also reserve the right to terminate a contract, without notice, if the ADULTS in a family exhibit any of the above behaviors – inappropriate conflict resolution skills will not be tolerated…while children are learning - adults should’ve long mastered these skills!
