Expert Early Childhood Education
What can you expect from us?
Positive and consistent techniques should be used to encourage children whose play actions are both appropriate and inappropriate.
Preferred Practices
- Positive verbal and gestural reinforcement for appropriate behaviour, redirection of inappropriate behaviour
- One verbal request (ensuring understanding) followed by gentle physical assistance
- Teaching and practicing of preferred behaviours in order to help children habituate skills and learn self discipline
- Offering children age appropriate choices and assisting them to follow through
Prohibited Practices
- Corporal punishments of any child (spanking, hitting, shaking, etc.)
- Deliberate harsh or degrading measures that would humiliate a child or undermine a child's self respect (threatening, verbal abuse, yelling, etc.)
- Deprivation of basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, bedding etc)
- Confining in a locked room
Partnerships with families
