In the morning and throughout the day teachers and staff will ensure that the doors to the parlor, the kitchen, the adult bathrooms, the cafeteria kitchen, and the doors within the fireside room are closed at all times during the day to prevent children from entering areas where they should not be. Children will be taught that when walking in the hallways and to the fireside room they must walk quietly in a line to the destination. Parents will be asked to sign their child in and out each day. At no time should children be left alone in a room unsupervised or allowed to walk unsupervised in the hallway or in the bathroom. In the preschool rooms, bathroom breaks will be done by lining up all the children and taking turns, going and returning as a group.

Walking tours will be limited to a four block radius of the center. Field Trip Supervision On field trips, a student teacher/volunteer/staff ratio of no more than 1:5 will be maintained. Any parent or other volunteer chaperone who is helping to supervise children during field trips and who has not undergone a background check through the center will not be allowed to separate from the group or be alone with the children at any time. Staff will accompany children to the bathroom. All regular volunteers and parents who wish to formally volunteer at the center will undergo a background check through the state. Fire Prevention The Center will conduct monthly fire drills that will be logged with

date and time conducted. Drills will include identifying evacuation

routes and practicing exiting the building from primary and

secondary exits. The phone number of the fire department will be

posted and staff will be assigned roles for ensuring that children in all

areas of the center are evacuated. Staff will also be trained on the

location and use of fire extinguishers and how to close of an area

affected by fire. All staff will be trained on fire prevention and

evacuation procedures as part of their initial training and annually.

Procedures to follow in the event of a blizzard, tornado, or other natural disaster The site will designate an area of the building as the emergency shelter and in the event of a tornado, blizzard, or other natural disaster; children will be moved to that location. Procedures to follow when a child is missing In the event that a child is missing while under the care of Bilingual Child Care & Education Center, the following procedures will be followed: 1) a search of the building will be conducted, 2) An administrative staff member will call 112, and 3) the parent, guardian, or emergency contact will be contacted as soon as emergency help is obtained.

Behavior Guidance Policies Our Bilingual Child Care & Education Center maintains behavior

guidance policies that include positive modeling of acceptable

behaviors, are tailored to the developmental level of the children

served, redirect children and groups away from problems toward

constructive activity in order to reduce conflict, protect the safety of

children and staff, and provide immediate and directly related

consequences to a child’s unacceptable behavior. While it is important for children to learn the rules for getting

along in a group setting it is equally important for children to know that there are expectations placed on them, and that they must in turn have expectations of others. This is the basis for understanding that all of us are to be treated equally. If a behavior is considered inappropriate for a child in the early childhood development setting, it usually must be considered inappropriate for an adult as well.

Our goals in guiding the behavior of young children are:

To help them develop self-discipline To help them have confidence in problem solving

To help them feel good about themselves and their

ethnic heritage

To consider the rights of others and appreciate differences

To help them learn safe and appropriate ways to

interact with people and their environment

The following are some acceptable techniques used to encourage children's cooperation in our childcare center. The teacher(s)/staff of Bilingual Child Care & Education Center will:

Know each child's needs, characteristics, and interests according to age and developmental stage

Set reasonable limits and standards for the safety of

each child while ensuring the rights of other children

Help each child understand and adjust to the established routine

Foster each child's involvement to feel secure as a

group member

Use simple positive statements for guiding a child toward what they can do instead of what they cannot do

Listen to the child, try to find the cause for

unacceptable behavior, and provide guidance toward acceptable healthy expressions of feelings

Use positive guidance techniques for the child and the

situation such as distraction toward a positive activity or redirection to an appropriate activity

Allow a choice when possible

Provide advance notice of activity changes. Teachers/staff will not spank, argue with, threaten, or embarrass a child as these behaviors depend on hurt and fear for control of children.

Provide activities, materials, and learning experiences

that encourage self-help skills and foster independence and mature self-confidence in each child.

Grievance Procedure for Parents Bilingual Child Care & Education Center maintains the following policy/procedure to address parent grievances. The Center encourages parents to first speak with the child’s teacher if the concern relates to a classroom situation, occurrence, or other issue with the child. However, parents may also contact the Director to discuss their concerns. A parent may elect to present a grievance in either a written or verbal fashion. For less serious grievances, the teacher or director will take immediate steps to develop a suitable solution to the issue at hand and an informal follow up (phone or in person) will be made after one week and after one month to determine if the issue has been resolved to the parent’s satisfaction. For grievances of a more serious nature, a formal written response will be made to the parent within 48 hours from one of the Center’s Directors that summarizes the complaint and a plan to correct the issue. The Director will present a formal letter after 30 days that summarizes the steps taken, communications exchanged, and whether the situation was resolved to the parent’s satisfaction. If the situation has not been resolved, the process will begin again in order to find an alternative solution and will continue until the situation has been resolved to the parent’s satisfaction. All grievances will be documented and copies of all relevant correspondence will be maintained in the child’s file.

General Information and Preparing for your First Day

Orientation: A pre-admission conference or meet the teacher open house is held with the parent(s)/guardian(s), the director, and teachers. We encourage parents/guardians to bring their child to visit the center and/or schedule extra time on the first day to help their child feel comfortable.

Daily check-in and check-out: Parents are responsible for respecting correct arrival and departure times each day. It is helpful if parents/guardians take time to talk with the teachers/staff for a few minutes each day to update them on your child's well-being.

Potty training: Please send your child in a dry diaper and dressed ready for play. We recommend you send your child ONLY in easy to remove clothing while they are potty training. Overalls, belts and other hard to remove items or clothes will only make the process of training more difficult for your child. During potty training time I ask that you keep us supplied with at least 3 sets of clothing including socks. We do not launder wet or soiled items. They will be placed into a plastic bag in your child’s box. Please replace any clothing sent home the next day.

Dress code: We will be working with messy materials (such as painting) and other activities throughout the day. We do not want any of your child’s “good” clothes to get ruined. Each child should have sneakers on or in their cubbies. When we play outside in the warm months your child needs to be able to climb and run with the other children. It is hard to run in sandals or fancy shoes and increases the chances for injury. Each child must have a change of clothing in case of an accident. These clothes should be labeled with your child’s name. That way if they get misplaced and found later on we will know to whom they belong. We also ask that parents provide an old shirt that can be used as a smock for art projects.

Morning Drop-off time: It is recommended that parents consider designating the routine drop off time in the morning no later than 9:00am for best results in adjustment and in order to take full advantage of the day's learning opportunities.

Cubbies: Each child is assigned a cubby where extra clothing and outer clothing is kept. During late fall, winter, and early spring, it is essential that your child be appropriately dressed with a warm jacket/coat, snow pants, boots, scarf, hat, and gloves/mittens since the children play outside daily. Newsletters and parent messages will be placed in cubbies for you to take home each evening.

Nap time: Children sleep on cots during nap time. Please send a cozy blanket and pillow for your child to use to help them fall asleep comfortably. These items must be taken home and laundered every Friday and returned to the center every Monday. The blanket and pillow will be placed in the child's cubby every Friday by the teachers/staff.

Nap Policy: A child who has completed a nap or rested quietly for 30 minutes will not be required to remain on a cot. Cots will be placed clear of aisles and in a place where there is unimpeded access for adults and children on at least one side of the equipment. Cots will be placed directly on the floor and not

Informatii generale privind prima zi in Centru

Initierea: O intalnire cu parintii, directorul si profesorii va avea loc inainte de admiterea in Centru. Incurajam parintii sa-si aduca copiii sa viziteze Centrul si sa petreaca timp cu copiii lor in Centru in primele zile pentru a le oferi acestora confort si incredere.

Antrenamentul la olita: Copilul va fi adus cu scutece curate, imbracat potrivit pentru joaca. Hainele trebuie sa fie usor de imbracat si dezbracat.

Acesta vor fi trimise acasa in saci de plastic. Aduceti alte haine curate in schimbul celor murdare, trimise acasa.

Imbracamintea: Vom folosi materiale care murdaresc (vopsea). Nu dorim ca hainutele "bune" sa fie stricate. Toti copiii trebuie sa aiba incaltari usoare, de sport, pentru lunile de vara cand se va juca si catara afara, cu ceilalti copii. Sandalele sau alte tipuri de pantofi sunt incomode si ii pot pune pe copii in pericol. Copiii trebuie sa aiba haine de schimb, etichetate cu numele copilului, pentru a le putea identifica usor. Incurajam parintii sa aduca camasute vechi ce pot fi folosite ca sorturi pentru proiectele de arta.

Aducerea copilului dimineata: Parintii sunt incurajati sa nu-si aduca copiii mai tarziu de ora 9 pentru ca acestia sa-si creeze rutina de dimineata si sa poata participa la activitatile zilnice in mod corespunzator.

Vestiarele: fiecare copil are un loc de depozitare unde sunt tinute hainele de schimb. Pentru timpul rece, trebuie ca fircare copil sa fie imbracat corespunzator cu haine groase, pantaloni de zapada, cizme, fular, caciula, manusi, pentru a se putea juca afara.

Somnul: copiii dorm pe saltelute. Va rugam sa le trimitei o paturica si o pernita care sa-i faca sa se simta confortabil. Aceste articole de lenjerie trebuie luate acasa si spalate in fiecare vineri, apoi returnate lunea. Paturica si pernita vor fi puse in bagajele copiilor in fiecare vineri.

Procedura aprivind somnul de dupa amiaza: Copiilor carora au dormit sau s-au odihnit timp de cel putin 30min nu li se va cere sa ramana pe saltelute. Acestea vor fi plasate in locuri care sa permita accesul usor. Saltelutele vor fi plasate pe podea.

Parents can withdraw their children from optional activities only before the beginning of each month. The payment for Personal development and Speech therapy is due on the first session of each month. A deduction of 100RON will apply when a child is enrolled for these both activities.
