Child Guidance
At Buhach Preschool we will focus on positive guidance with the use of preventative and proactive approaches that will keep your child engaged and entertained in the activities going on. In situations where more than the proactive or preventative techniques is necessary a redirection technique will be used by engaging the child in other activities either with other children or individually until he/she is ready to return to the group. This will not be used as a punishment, but rather as a distraction. For example a child having inappropriate behavior such as taking toys from his/her friends or hitting, this child first will be talked to and explained the ideas of sharing, if the behavior continues the next step will be for him/her to be asked to go to another part of the classroom and work on other activities, the teacher will ensure there are plenty of other activities to ensure his/her engagement. When the child feels ready to return to the activity he/she will return to the activity.
Under no circumstances will we deny the child of anything, use time out, or use corporal punishment. In cases where the behavior is extreme we will partner with parents to assist with inappropriate or distracting behavior. If the behavior at any point becomes a danger to the health and safety of your child, other children, teachers, or other individuals we will ask to have him/her picked up. In the case that behavior continues we will partner with the parents to set a plan of action to eliminate unwanted or inappropriate behavior. The plan of action will include a list of unwanted behavior, a list of center and teacher provided solutions, parents suggestions as solutions, and a timeline to see improvement. Should the behavior continue all options will be evaluated including disenrollment .
Biting
Biting is common among young children, during early childhood, children are sensory learners and often explore orally. In addition, children at a young age do not have fully developed language skills. Impulse control can lead children to bite as a way of making their needs known. We realize that biting can be a big concern, and we strive to minimize the behavior whenever possible.
Buhach Preschool teachers and staff are trained to recognize triggers and how to prevent and decrease incidents. If your child is bitten or bites you and the parents of the other child will receive a report of the incident and office staff will be happy to discuss it with you while keeping information confidential. If your child bites and breaks the skin, we will contact you asking you to pick him/her up. If your child bites three times during a day and there are no other signs such as teething we will ask that you pick him/her up. If the behavior continues we will se a plan of action consisting of the undesired behavior, a list of teacher and center actions to take, parent suggestions, and a timeline to see improvement.
