    Full payment will be required for early withdrawals in May or June withoutPCS orders.

    CLA allows children a 4-week adjustment period. During this adjustmentperiod, children may experience some difficulties adapting to the structuredenvironment. Most children will adapt to the structure and routine of theclassroom well before this period is over. For children who are not adjustingto our settings, we will have a conference with the parent(s) and recommendother options or courses of action that may help the child adjust within a setamount of time. If the child is unable to adjust at the end of the set amount oftime, CLA will remove the child from the program. CLA welcomes children ofall abilities. Unfortunately, we are not currently equipped to providespecialized attention for children requiring continuous one-on-one care.

    The following are some scenarios will merit removal from the program:

    1. Children enrolled in Preschool, Pre-K, & German Immersion programswho have excessive potty accidents, as outlined in potty trainingsection of this handbook.

    2. Children who have excessive behavior/discipline difficulties, as outlinedin the discipline policy of this handbook

    3. Failure to adhere to the illness policies in this book after written noticehas been given.4. Children who resume biting behavior after being reintroduced into the

    classroom after a biting suspension, as outlined in the biting policy inthis handbook

    BITING

    Most toddlers and early preschoolers will engage in biting at one time oranother. This behavior can be the result of normal curiosity, an attention-seeking device, a quick action to compensate for lack of verbal skills, and/or adefense mechanism. In most cases, biting does not become a chronicproblem and is curbed with reinforcement of appropriate behavior.

    On rare occasions, biting becomes a persistent behavior issue or is indicativeof a more serious behavior problem. Because the safety of all our children isour primary concern, a more stringent discipline policy is necessary in suchcases. After three consecutive biting incidents within a two-month period, thechild will be suspended for one month; tuition will remain current during thisperiod. The child may return to class after the suspension period. If furtherbiting incidents occur after the suspension, the child will be removed from theprogram. Please note that the biting policy is different for ages 2 and under.

    For specific questions regarding this policy, please see the Director.

    BEHAVIOR/DISCIPLINE

    Appropriate behavior choices are essential for a child to thrive and learn in aneducational setting. Disruptive behavior can hinder the learning process forall students in a classroom, and can even create an unsafe environment. Forthese reasons, classroom rules are set and must be followed by all children.

    When a child is disrupting class, and not following the classroom rules, the

    initial step for discipline is verbal redirection. The teacher, or provider, mayfirmly tell the student No followed by an explanation of the inappropriatebehavior and direction to correct the behavior.

    If verbal redirection is ineffective, time out may be utilized. The teacher, orprovider, will explain the inappropriate behavior and place the child in time outaway from the other children and activity for an age-appropriate period. Afterthe time out the child will be returned to the activity without furtherrepercussions.

    If a second time out is necessary, it will be completed in a separate portion of

    the classroom under the supervision of the teacher or provider.

    If inappropriate behavior continues, a supervised time out in the main officemay be required.

    If all of the above steps have been taken without any progress, a parent maybe called to speak with the child about appropriate behavior choices.

    For the safety and well being of all children and staff, severe misbehaviorcannot be tolerated. A child who deliberately injures another child or staffmember will be sent home for the day. Additionally, any excessivemisbehavior will result in the child being sent home for the day. Excessivemisbehavior is defined by the teacher or provider in conjunction with thedirector.

    15

  • 7/29/2019 CLA Student Handbook 2012-2013

    16/39

    If patterns of misbehavior or injurious behavior develop, a conference will bearranged between the director and the parents. At the time of the conference,a specific plan for behavior improvement will be developed and a time periodwill be set. If the childs behavior has not improved at the end of this timeperiod, the child will be removed from the program.

    Anti-Bullying policy for age 5 and up

    Bullying, by definition, is any single incident or pattern of behavior directed atanother person that results in that person feeling intimidated or harassed, orresults in the physical or emotional injury of the person. Some examples ofbullying are:

    2. Stealing or damaging another person's property.

    3. Name calling or teasing.

    4. Threatening to hurt someone.

    5. Leaving someone out on purpose and without good reason.
