Child Guidance and Positive Discipline Policy
As a means to create and maintain a safe, nurturing, and peaceful environment, child guidance will be regarded as a means to teach children through gentle direction. Patience, kindness, love, understanding, and tolerance will be encouraged throughout the program. Bambi Daycare and Out of School Care will take a proactive and preventative approach to child discipline. The following guidelines will be adhered to:
- Children will be supervised at all times by appropriate caregivers
- Children are encouraged to solve their differences by talking with one another in a non-threatening, non-violent and non-aggressive manner
- Staff will guide children through the use of:
| Praise |
Respectful Communication |
Establishing Consistent Expectation |
Positive Verbal Guidance |
Setting Appropriate Limits |
In event of ongoing behavioural issues, parents will be notified. If the Director feels there is an area of concern outside the limits of what the Program is able to do to help that child, it may be necessary to bring in outside assistance.
