Safe Behaviors
Because certain aggressive behaviors create apprehension for children and consequently ruin the class experience, these behaviors will not be tolerated. Aggressive behavior toward other children or adults will be grounds for dismissal and/or expulsion from class.
Aggressive behaviors include, but are not limited to: throwing objects at others, biting, hitting, kicking, tackling, and scratching. Also included are behaviors that cause damage to the classroom facility or property of My Little Conservatory.
The following actions will be taken if these behaviors occur:
First incident: parent must remove child from that class for a few moments or possibly the remainder of class that day.
Second incident: parent must remove child from that class for the remainder of class that day. Additionally, the child may not attend any classes for a period of no less than two weeks.
Third incident: parent must remove child from that class for the remainder of class that day and child may no longer attend Kindermusik classes for at least 3 month or longer if the behavior is still present.
My Little Conservatory reserves the right for an instructor to ask a parent to remove a child from class at any time or to deny admission to a class due to any of the above mentioned behaviors.
Wellness Policy
Please be considerate of other children when deciding whether or not your child is healthy enough to attend class. Ask yourself this important question if your child is healthy, would you want him/her playing with another child that has your child’s symptoms? If the answer is no, please do not bring him/her to class. If your child exhibits any of the symptoms listed below, please be advised that in the interest of safety for all children and adults present, we will ask you to leave and make-up the class at a better time. Please follow these guidelines and if you or your child has any of these symptoms, please do not attend class:
- Fever within the last 24 hours
- Runny nose with yellow or green mucus
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
- Lice
- Rash or spots on skin
- Ringworm infection
- Severe itching
- Eye discharge
- Significant tiredness
- Uncontrolled coughing
- Difficulty breathing
Other Considerations
Please be aware than some children are very sensitive to certain foods and therefore, we ask you not to bring food or drink into the classroom. If your child needs a drink or snack during class, please step out of the room for a moment to accommodate his/her needs. If you have food or a cup in your bag, please be sure it is somewhere where no other child could accidentally eat or drink it.
Also, please avoid wearing heavy perfumes.
