CHILD
GUIDANCE
Disciplinary Measures In
order to create a positive environment for your child & to maintain a
healthy self-esteem for your child, we use behavior modification discipline
techniques. Our Guidance policy is designed to help a child develop
self-control, and respect for the rights of others. The following guidance techniques are used at Janesville
Community Day Center, Inc. 1.
“Redirection” meaning directing a child’s attention to a different
activity 2.
Time-outs meaning removing the child from the situation in a
non-humiliating manner and placing the child in a designated location in
order to interrupt the child’s unacceptable behavior, 1 minute per the age of
the child (4yr.= 4 min.), this is used for children 3 & up. 3.
Positive reinforcement is used throughout the day. 4.
Actions, which are humiliating or frightening to the child such as;
spanking, hitting, pinching, shaking, verbal abuse, or threats are not used
when guiding the child. 5.
If a child continually does not respond to the above techniques a
conference will then be scheduled with the parent to discuss the
problem. A behavior plan will then be
designed by the parent, teacher and director to be used. 6.
Discharge: May occur due to: Determination by the Executive Director that the
presence of the child a.
Is detrimental to him/herself or the group. b.
Will overtax the resources of the teachers, the facilities and other

illness. An ill child must be picked

Executive Director or Assistant Director. Failure to do so will result in a
call to the following person/s on your pick up list. We are aware that some

function with a group, sore throat, inflammation of the eyes, fever (100
degrees), lice (NO nits allowed), ringworm, unexplained rash, vomiting,
diarrhea (2 uncontained episodes) or other condition having the potential to

MISCELLANEOUS
INFORMATION
1.
Our Executive Director, Assistant Director, or Infant Director will
be happy to discuss any questions or problems you have either by phone, or in
person. Please avoid trying to talk
at length with a teacher about your child or a problem while he/she is caring
for other children. Brief
conversations are acceptable. 2.
Parents are expected to pick up children according to
arranged scheduled times. If there
should be an unavoidable delay notify the Center Director as soon as possible. An adjustment of rate will need to be made
should the number of hours exceed your assigned rate. 3.
It is urgent for the safety and protection of your child
that you completely understand and abide by our rule concerning who may take
your child from the Center: A.
Our Rule is: Your
child will not be allowed to leave the Center with any person not listed on
your application form unless you personally otherwise notify the Center. B. We will not
release your child to a person who comes and tells us he/she is to pick up
your child. In the past we have had
to phone several parents to verify and attain permission for release of their
child. We are certain you realize
that having to do this does cause a problem for the following reasons: a.
The person coming for the child is embarrassed. b.
The person coming for child becomes irritated. c.
It is time consuming and inconvenient for us to try to
find you. d.
It would be inconvenient for you if we could not reach you, as we would not
release the child until we had verbal confirmation directly from you or an
authorized person. 4.
If for any reason you will not be at your job or school
site, please let us know where to locate you or who to contact in your place
in case of emergency or in case your child becomes ill. 5.

Divorced 2.

A legal guardian Please complete the application forms concerning
this matter. You will also need to place on file at Janesville Community Day
Care Center, Inc. a document or court order, which specifies visitation &
custody arrangements. 6.

parent, stepparent, guardian, or other caregiver for a child who has been
convicted of a crime that requires registration with a state sex offender
registry will not be allowed on the grounds of Janesville
Community Day Care Center, Inc. for any reason. Parents, stepparents, guardians, or other caregivers who may be
listed on the child’s application as having permission to leave with the
child or who may drop off the child are subject to a background check, and
may be denied access to the facility and grounds based upon the reasons
stated above. A background check will
consist of checking the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry and the Wisconsin

with the Executive Director for additional information. |

SCHEDULES
1. For varied day children or
whenever changes are needed, varied schedules must be to the Assistant Director
by Thursday at 12:00 p.m. for the upcoming week. If schedules are not in, the schedule will remain the same as
the previous week and will be charged accordingly. 2.
Since the state licensing sets the staff ratio and we set our
enrollment accordingly, it is difficult for us to allow for change of days
for part time children. When we plan
a field trip, special program or special party, we are often able to arrange
extra staff to help, therefore we will try to include your child upon
request. Such changes may alter the
amount of your Tuition charge. |
