Discipline
Staff, parents, or volunteers shall not permit, practice, or inflict any form of physical punishment, verbal or emotional abuse, or denial of physical necessities for any child in attendance at James Nisbet Nursery School.
We will guide your child’s behavior positively through re-direction, problem solving, role playing, and discussions. Behavioral expectations (safety rules) will be discussed on a daily basis. i.e.: “at Nursery School we keep our hands and feet to ourselves, walking is the safe way to move at Nursery School, etc.”
Sometimes a child’s needs are beyond the scope of the staff’s training. We must therefore enlist the help of specialists, trained in specific areas of child development, to assist us.
Staff may ask that a child be removed from the program if:
- The child’s behavior jeopardizes the safety of others.
- The child’s behavior does not respond to appropriate behavior management techniques.
- The parents are unwilling to allow staff to obtain the help of child development specialists.
The removal of a child will be at the discretion of the staff.
