Discipline Policy
It is our philosophy for discipline to teach participants to take responsibility for their own actions . We try to accomplish this through using specific directions , redirecting a child , positive reinforcements , motivation and leading by example . Since each participant has different ways of learning , several different methods may be used .
Extracurricular After School Activities
Children may take part in extracurricular activities held at their schools ( scouts , clubs , etc .) To do this , a parent must notify the Site Coordinator in writing by completing an “ Extracurricular Activity Form ” for each activity the child will be attending . These forms are available at each site . The person in charge of the extracurricular activity is responsible for bringing the child back to Kids ’ Zone at the end of the activity .
Registration packets received after August 1 will be placed on a waitlist and may not be eligible until September 5 , provided space is available .
