Within every preschool setting appropriate guidelines must be set to ensure the safety of the children. Our philosophy is to work in a positive way encouraging appropriate behavior in the classroom. If a situation arises where a child’s behavior is inappropriate, this child will be removed from the situation and gently guided into another activity. If the child continues to misbehave, a discussion between teacher and child to discuss appropriate behavior will occur. No child shall be humiliated, belittled or embarrassed in front of others by calling attention to negative behavior rather our focus will be to praise positive behavior as children learn by example. There will be NO physical harm or punishment at any time ever used on a child by any Learning Tree Staff member or parent volunteer.
It is important to respect children’s feelings and to be sensitive to the child’s emotional state. Some children may misbehave due to illness, being overtired, or some event happening at home. We as teachers need to know of any problems arising in your child’s life, which will affect your child’s performance.
