Our aim is to foster and enhance positive self-esteem and enhance positive guidance towards socially-acceptable behaviours. We believe in encouraging independence and self-control in children, and aim to develop skills which will enable them to be self-disciplined and solve problems for themselves.
Socially acceptable behaviour by children is a condition of their enrolment, and is a condition of their on-going participation in before and after school care. Centre staff will make each child familiar with the Centre’s basic rules of behaviour.
If your child’s behaviour is or becomes unacceptable, and it cannot be managed by Centre staff informally, you will be invited to meet with the Centre Supervisor to discuss your child. In some cases the Centre Supervisor may request that you obtain referral to an outside agency for assistance as a condition of your child remaining enrolled, and your child may be excluded from the Centre for a period of time until the child’s behaviour is within socially acceptable limits
We take a positive approach to negative behaviour by using the following strategies:
Children receive roll call awards. When they have obtained 20, they receive a free movie ticket.
Staff hand out craft awards, sports awards, news awards, citizenship awards and more.
Throughout each session, staff hand out reward tickets to children. Children write their name on the reverse side, and put it in the raffle box. The raffle is drawn once a day, with the winner receiving a prize.
We give children the opportunity to help staff in running the Centre. We offer them chances to become roll call reps (time roll call, record program activities), soap and paper towel monitors etc.
