Discipline Procedure

• All children will be encouraged to use appropriate behavior according to the preschool rules.

• Children who exhibit inappropriate behavior will be given loving instruction and/or placed in time out.

• Children who continue to have difficulty behaving in the classroom will go to time out in the Directors office.

• In some circumstances a parent may be required to come and observe their child, or to take the child home.

• Children causing physical harm to others (hitting, scratching, biting, etc.) while in an MMO session will be sent to the Directors office and parents will be notified of the behavior. At the 3rd occurrence of such behavior, the parents will be asked by the Director to keep the child home from class for two weeks or until such behavior ceases.

Parent Notification Procedure

ILLNESS/INJURY: A parent will be notified immediately of any illness or injury requiring professional medical attention. If a parent cannot be reached, their emergency contact person will be notified. 911 will be called if an illness or injury requires immediate professional medical attention.

CRYING: We know how difficult it is to leave a crying child. Please know that we will notify you if your child continues crying for a prolonged period of time. We want your child’s experience at MMO to be a happy one and we will work together with you to make that happen.

BITING: Parents will be notified of any child exhibiting biting behavior while in an MMO session. At the 3rd biting offense, the parents will be asked by the MMO Director to remove that child from class for two weeks or until such behavior ceases.

BEHAVIOR: See Discipline Procedure.
