Parking, Accident Reports, Toileting, Behavior Responding Techniques

Parking
When dropping off/picking up your child, you are welcome to park in my front driveway, in the driveway on the side of my house in front of the white fence, or on the side of the street on 1st East.
Accident Reports
In the event that your child has an accident and is injured, I will first care for the child, then call the parent within 24 hours, and fill out an Injury Report Form and send a copy home with you.
Toileting Issues
Your child must be able to identify the need to use the bathroom, have the ability to pull down his/her pants with minimal assistance, and eliminate in the toilet before preschool starts. Each child will be required to bring his/her own complete change of clothing to keep here at preschool in case they have an accident.
Behavior responding techniques
As an IBI (Intensive Behavioral Intervention) therapist, I believe that in regards to behavior problems, I will prevent as much as possible by providing clear expectations and opportunities for children to be successful. I will teach appropriate alternative behaviors through stories, role playing, and modeling. When responding to behavior problems, I will use redirection, structured cool-down, ignoring of mild inappropriate attention-seeking behaviors, and logical and educational consequences only after a warning has been issued. I will never use physical punishment, isolation, or humiliation. Appropriate behaviors will always be rewarded and children will be given opportunities to practice problem-solving skills and coping techniques. A Conflict Resolution form will be filled out at the end of the day and a copy sent home with the parent, letting them know what happened and how it was resolved.
