| * Modeling |
We believe that children will imitate behaviors
that are observed. Therefore, our providers shall
set good examples of appropriate behavior.
|
| * Prevention |
We believe that a child care environment shall
be designed developmentally appropriate and to allow
for children to self select their activities. |
| * Choices |
We strive to provide children with choices to
dictate their behavior. Suitable choices are given
to children to help them develop positive
self-esteem and decision-making abilities. |
| * Redirection |
We believe that redirecting a child or group
away from a problem, and moving toward a
constructive activity or solution will decrease
conflict. |
| * Problem Solving |
We work with children to solve their own
disputes and problems. By helping children to set
their own boundaries and communicate their
boundaries to others, we are encouraging positive
pro-social development. (using their words) |
| * Responsibility |
We believe that children shall be responsible
for their choices, behavior, and actions. We help
children to accept responsibility and to problem
solve a solution. |
| * Safety |
We believe that children and staff shall be safe
from violence, physical and verbal abuse. |
| * Consequences |
We believe that appropriate consequences are
necessary to help guide a childs behavior. The
Center for Generations does not endorse or use forms
of negative discipline. Corporal punishment is not
tolerated at the Center. |
Repeated behavioral concerns are discussed with the
