25. Philosophy of My Center: YY provides Family In Home Child Care for
children between the ages of 6 weeks to 4 years of age. YY shall also
provide Before/Afterschool Care for School Aged Children up to age 12.
What sets YY's academic program apart from all other Family In Home
Child Care is that we teach our children phonics, numbers, shapes, and
colors by age 2! WOW! We teach in a very stimulating learning
environment for all ages from birth thru 4 years old.
26. Curriculum: The Creative Curriculum is what I'm currently using.
27. Discipline: STAFF WILL NOT SPANK ANY CHILD. Teachers will
point out disruptive and inappropriate behavior and teach children
how to correct it. Children with continual behavior problems will be
dismissed from the Facility. YY is committed to positive reinforcement
and promoting sound values. If a major discipline problem occurs, the
Owner will notify the parents immediately. Parents are encouraged to
stress the importance of "Good Behavior" patterns.
Our discipline policy involves these steps and procedures that will be
utilized by our staff.
1. Prevention
a. Children are kept busy.
b. Children are given positive attention, notice and praise.
c. Positive actions, sharing, taking turns, and kindness toward
others.
2. Positive Redirections
a. Children are calmly redirected.
b. Children are distracted in a negative situation.
c. Focus is on the behavior rather than the child.
3. Special Time (Time Alone)
a. Children will be placed in time alone to collect themselves.
b. For continued inappropriate behavior.
c. For physical harm to another child.
Each situation will be calmly, gently, and positively discussed with your child,
focusing on the behavior. After an understanding is reached, your child may return to the activity or be redirected to another activity. Should a child's behavior become an on-going problem, our facility reserves the right to
withdraw your child.
