How
do you handle behavior problems?
Extended Child Care’s goal is for children to successfully
manage their own behavior. We use a positive behavior management system. When a child is having a problem managing
their own behavior, child care teachers use intervention, restriction,
verbal cues, and opportunity time “outs” to help
the child. We feel positive behavior management is the verbal, physical,
and emotional support of children before, during and after they
have successfully manages their own behavior. Praise, recognition,
and reinforcement of good behavior is the key. |
|
|
Do
you reward children for their good behavior?
Answer is Yes, as part of our policy of positive and preventative behavior management system, super tokens are awarded to children showing exceptional behavior.
Super tokens are used to reinforce good deeds, helpfulness,
volunteering, sportsmanship, and hard work. The center teacher
writes the child’s name and reason for good behavior on
the super token’s piece of paper, and the child then is
able to go to the super token box and choose a prize to take
home. |

What
happens if my child is ill?
Children who become sick at childcare will be isolated away from other children as much as possible and comforted. Parents will be called to have them picked up as soon as possible. Extended Child Care has no abilities to care for sick children. It will be the child care staff who will determine when the child is too sick to stay in care.
Children with the following symptoms or illnesses will be excluded from care in the center:
· temperature over 101 degrees
· vomiting or severe diarrhea
· severe coughing
· head lice or nits
· conjunctivitis, ringworm and impetigo prior to 24 hours after treatment has begun
· measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, chicken pox, Hepatitis A, or any other contagious illness until a doctor’s note is brought in stating the child is no longer contagious.
