Behaviour Guidance Policy

At Club iNFiNiTi we make it our mission to teach the whole child by embracing teachable moments, helping children to honour and regulate their feelings, and building trust so children are comfortable communicating their needs. Our multi-angle approach is aimed at encouraging healthy behaviours, positive relationships, and positive self-image. Through teaching these skills, it is our hope that children will grow up to be happy and healthy people who can better serve their community.

Club iNFiNiTi uses the following methods of behavioural guidance:

• ·Behaviour guidance shall be individualised and consistent for each child; it shall be appropriate for the child's level of understanding and be directed toward teaching the child acceptable behaviour and self-control.
• ·Behaviour guidance will be aimed at helping children identify and learn healthy and appropriate ways to think and behave. Children will be praised and encouraged when they make healthy decisions and behave respectfully toward others. Children will be redirected and coached when they make unhealthy decisions or behave disrespectfully toward others.
• ·Children who do not respond to verbal redirection will be encouraged to take a short break from group activities to collect themselves and relax before rejoining the group.
• ·Physical punishment or threats of such activities will not be administered to children. Parents are also asked to adhere to this policy while in or around the centre premises.
• ·Should there be a pattern suggesting that a child is struggling to behave and think in a healthy and positive way, a parent conference will be scheduled with the Director and/or Site Supervisor to determine the best course of action.
