Discipline

We use a positive approach to child guidance and discipline. Our emphasis is on safety, teaching the difference between right and wrong and how to resolve conflict through expression and communication. We do not associate discipline with food, physical or mental punishment.

When a child continues to misbehave after multiple verbal warnings, we may give the child time aside to separate from friends and learn the boundaries. “Time Out” minutes are generally equivalent to the age number of the child (i.e. A 3 year old will receive a 3 min. time out), and when finished, are accompanied with questioning, corrective guidance, and an encouraging word.

Child Withdrawals/Dismissals

Withdrawal

Please complete and turn in the withdrawal form to give the school one (1) month’s notice before withdrawing your child; otherwise, you will be responsible for the next month’s tuition.

Administrative Dismissal

Any child who has consistent, frequently disruptive and unimproved behavior, which interferes with the safety of the staff or other children, or the staff’s performance or daily class activities, will be released and dismissed from the Center.

Parking

Please see our Parking Diagram and Policies to ensure the safety of all the children and families, as well as the School Staff and Property Owners.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parents may schedule a conference at any time, and/or a teacher may request for a conference if there are any concerns.

Provisions for Special Needs of Individual Children

Love A Keiki will try to accommodate special needs of individual children in order for the child to function optimally at our Center. For concerns regarding any provisions for your child, please see the Director.

Special Provisions for Handicapped Children

It is our Center’s policy to not discriminate against persons with disabilities on the basis of disability, and to provide children and parents with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in the Center’s programs and services in compliance with state law and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

Exclusion of Sick Child

Any child who arrives noticeably ill, with rash, or with fever shall not be admitted for that day. Should a child become ill while at school, he/she will be separated from the children and placed in a secluded area of the classroom until a parent or authorized person arrives to take the child home.

Fever

We call to send a child home when a fever develops and the thermometer reads 100.0°F. If a fever developed while at preschool, they will not be able to return until 24 hours from the time when the fever was read at 100.0°F.

i.e. 100.3°F at 1:30 pm = your child may not return until the next day at 1:30 pm.
