Kids at Heart Inc, reserves the right to terminate care for individual children if any of the following conditions are met :
1. Child is excessively violent towards classmates or staff on a regular basis,
2. Child is willfully destructive of Kids at Heart property on a regular basis, or
3. Child consistently disrupts regular classroom activities to the point where it becomes impossible to provide adequate care for the other children in the class.
Before terminating care of a child, Kids at Heart will make every effort to help the child adjust to the classroom environment and behave appropriately. To ensure that this happens we will abide by the following guidelines:
1. Whenever any child at Kids at Heart is harmful towards others, or destroys school property, a note is sent home, and a copy of the note goes into the child’s file.
2. If these notes are sent home frequently (three or more times a week), the child’s regular classroom teacher and/or the Director may request a conference to discuss the child’s behavior. A behavior plan will be agreed upon, and a daily note will be sent home to keep the child’s parents updated on the child’s behavior.
3. If there is no improvement in the child’s behavior within two to four weeks, another conference will be called to discuss the child’s actions. A decision will then be made whether to adjust the behavior plan, or to terminate care for the child. You will be notified of a decision to terminate care in writing and will have two weeks to find more appropriate care.
4. If the child is given a final chance to abide by classroom guidelines, and there is still no improvement in two weeks. Kids at Heart feels that your child can no longer benefit from care at our center. You will be notified of the decision in writing and will have two weeks to find more appropriate care.
