Addressing Concerns and Supporting Positive Behavior:

We understand that sometimes, children may struggle to follow our guidelines. When this happens, we will work with them to understand the issue and help them get back on track.

  • First Reminder: If a child has difficulty following a guideline, a counselor or instructor will provide a gentle reminder and discuss how to make better choices.
  • Second Reminder: If the behavior continues, we will have a more detailed conversation with the child to explore the underlying reasons and develop an improvement plan. We may also inform their parent/guardian.
  • Third Reminder: If the behavior persists, we will involve the parent/guardian in a meeting to collaboratively create a plan to support the child’s success. This may involve a temporary break from certain activities or discussing whether the program is the best fit for the child.
