TO DISCONTINUE AND TRY AGAIN AT A LATER DATE. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO OFFER
"TREATS"TO THE CHILD FOR GOING "POTTY" A CHILD WHO IS NOT FULLY POTTY TRAINED WHO
ENTERS DAYCARE WITHOUT DIAPERS OR PULL UPS WILL NOT BE CARED FOR THAT DAY. THIS CREATES
MUCH EMBARASMENT FOR THE CHILD AND IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THIS BOOK WILL BE CHECKED DAILY. DURING THE DAY WE ARE VERY BUSY AND DONT ALWAYS HAVE
TIME TO SIT AND TALK, BUT WILL ALWAYS SCHEDULE A MEETING OR A PHONE CALL. PARENT

AT HOME UNTIL 9PM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, OR INFORMATION THAT NEEDS
SHARED.

GUIDANCE POLICY
CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR IS INFLUENCED BY THEIR OVERALL DEVELOPMENT, THEIR ENVIRONMENT, AND THEIR
CAREGIVERS. EACH CHILD DIFFERS IN TERMS OF HIS/HER ACTIVITY LEVEL, DISTRACTIBILITY,
AND SENSITIVITY. CHILDREN MUST LEARN TO DEVELOP SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE AND
APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AS THEY GROW TO MATURITY.
PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY
THIS POLICY IS THE GUIDELINE THAT BUSY BEES DAY CARE WILL FOLLOW TO ASSIST CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING
SELF-CONTROL, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND SENSITIVITY IN THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS. GUIDANCE
IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE ORDER, PREVENT INJURY, AND ENSURE A CHILD'S
ACTIVITIES ARE NOT INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
GUIDANCE STRATEGIES
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT BUSY BEES "SETS THE STAGE" FOR A POSITIVE
ATMOSPHERE AND MAXIMUM OPPORTUNITIES FOR DESIRABLE BEHAVIOR.
THIS WILL BE DONE BY:
1. EXPLAINING TO THE CHILDREN WHAT BEHAVIOR WILL BE ACCEPTABLE
AND EXPLAINING THE REASON FOR THE LIMITS, DOING SO IN A POSITIVE
WAY
2. FOCUSING ON THE CHILD'S BEHAVIOR, RATHER THAT ON THE CHILD
3. ALLOWING THE CHILDREN TIME TO RESPOND TO THE EXPECTATIONS
4. REINFORCING APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
5. BEING WILLING TO LISTEN AND RESPOND IN A FAIR AND SUPPORTIVE
MANNER
6. OBSERVING CHILDREN IN ORDER TO ANTICIPATE POTENTIAL
DIFFICULTIES
INTERVENTION STRATEGIES
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES WILL BE USED TO HELP
CREATE A POSITIVE CLIMATE AND MINIMIZE PROBLEMS IN A
SUPPORTIVE, RATHER THAN PUNITIVE WAY:
1. BY ESTABLISHING EYE CONTACT AND CALLING THE CHILD'S NAME
IN A CALM CONTROLLED VOICE TO GAIN A CHILD'S ATTENTION
2. BY REMAINING NEAR THE CHILD IN SITUATIONS WHERE HE/SHE MAY
BE LOSING SELF-CONTROL
3. CHILDREN WILL BE REMINDED OF LIMITS TAKING THEIR FEELINGS
INTO CONSIDERATION
4. FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN OR CHILDREN WITH LIMITED ATTENTION
SPAN AND VERBAL ABILITIES, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE
BEHAVIOR BY DISTRACTING OR DIVERTING THE CHILD.
5. VERBAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE SHOWN BY MODELING PROBLEM
SOLVING IF A CHILD IS DISCOURAGED OR FRUSTRATED.
6. CHILDREN WILL BE OFFERED CHOICES IN A NON- THREATENING
AND NON-PUNITIVE WAY TO ASSIST THEM IN MEETING
EXPECTATIONS OR TO REINFORCE LIMITS.
7. WE WILL CLARIFY THE INEVITABLE OR UNAVOIDABLE OUTCOME OF
THE BEHAVIOR TO THE CHILD.
8.IF THE CHILD IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A PROBLEM OR TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS, THEY WILL BE RE-DIRECTED TO
ANOTHER ACTIVITY, OR IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, BE
LIMITED IN THE USE OF A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
9. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, THE CHILD WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE
SITUATION
IN A WAY THAT ENSURES THAT THE "TIME OUT" IS A POSITIVE
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
A. PRIOR TO THE USE OF "TIME OUT" THE CHILD WILL
BE GIVEN AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT IT MEANS AND WHAT IT
INVOLVES.
B. THE "TIME OUT" PLACE WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN THE PLAY
AREA, WHERE THEY CAN STILL BE SUPERVISED,
BUT FAR ENOUGH FROM THE ACTIVITY
C. FOR THE PRE-SCHOOLERS THE "TIME OUT" PERIOD WILL BE NO
MORE THAN ONE-MINUTE PER YEAR OF AGE, TO A MAXIMUM
OF FIVE MINUTES.
