Common use of Discipline Policy Clause in Contracts

Discipline Policy. We strive for a policy of positive discipline here at Surreybrook School. We promote acceptable behavior through positive reinforcement until it becomes a natural part of the child’s life. We do not allow any behavior that may be harmful to your child or to other children. Positive reinforcement will be used at all times to move the child from inappropriate behavior toward acceptable behavior. The Directors will be glad to discuss any methods or ideas you may have regarding discipline and your child. The Center reserves the right to request the immediate withdrawal of any child who, in the judgment of the Director, has special needs that cannot be met by the Center or whose behavior is deemed detrimental to the health or progress of the other children. The Center also reserves the right to request the immediate withdrawal of any child whose parents do not follow the rules of the Center or whose behavior otherwise poses difficulties for the Director or the staff. In general, unless the child is deemed to be an immediate danger to him/her or the other children, one month’s termination notice will be provided. Should the Center initiate the withdrawal of a child, parents/guardians will be liable for tuition only for the time child was enrolled. In the alternative, an additional staff member may need to be provided to directly supervise a child whose behavior is posing such difficulties. In such an event, parents/guardians will be asked to pay an increased tuition rate for the time during which the additional staff member is needed. Rewards are a part of all of our lives. Sometimes the rewards are tangible, like a star or a sticker; sometimes they are intangible, like a hug, positive verbal response, or a special privilege. Rewarding appropriate behavior is a way of making it happen again. Our goal is for lots of stars and hugs. We would like to comment briefly on the subject of physical contact. Today, it is a very unfortunate fact of life that we must warn our children about strangers and always be watchful for abuse. We encourage our staff to become your child’s protector and friend. We believe that hugs, holding hands, and pats on the back are natural and nurturing responses in many circumstances. They should be encouraged between caregiver and child, and also between child and child. Hugs are okay! I/we understand the Center’s Behavioral Management policy (please initial) Absences: I/we agree to notify the Center as early as possible on any day that my child will be absent due to illnesses or any other causes, and to give at least two week’s notice of vacation plans or other absences (of one week or more).
