TERMINATION
AND SUSPENSION POLICY
Children
may be suspended or terminated from the program only for reasons listed below: SUSPENSION
MAY BE NECESSARY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF TUITION. Delinquent payments must be paid
in full prior to re-admittance. (Reference Payment, Policies identifying verbal
contact with parent within first week of delinquency. Two weeks delinquency may
result in suspension following written notice.) SUSPENSION
OR TERMINATION OF CHILD CARE SERVICES MAY OCCUR IF: • A
child has developmental or serious behavioral issues that can not be adequately
met by our staffing plan. Example: children who continually place themselves,
other children or staff at risk of physical harm. (Information and referral sources
are available to parents upon request.)
• Parents consistently arrive
late (after 6:30 p.m.) to pick up their child. Information and referral about
alternate care options available upon request.
• Non payment of tuition.
Verbal
expression of concerns, written evaluation of issues, and Parent conferences will
precede suspension. PROCESS
FOR TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION •
Cherubs Child Development Center teachers are responsible for informing the Director
of serious concerns they have for a child in their classroom.
• When it
is determined there are concerns for a particular child in the classroom, the
Lead Teacher will informally communicate with the parents and Director. If the
problem continues, a minimum of three (3) written observations of the child will
be recorded. Parent conferences will be encouraged if the problem remains unsolved.
•
The Director will contact the parents in person, by telephone, or by a letter
sent home with the child. The Director will arrange a mutually convenient time
for a conference with the Director, Teacher and parents. The Center's concerns
will be clearly identified in writing.
• After the conference, should
the problem seem irresolvable, Cherubs will decide whether the child must leave
the program. The parents will receive a written statement from the Center including
the reason for termination, summary of the Center's observations, interventions
made by the Center, and all efforts made by the Center.
Termination of any
child's enrollment (whether Center or parent initiated) shall be managed in child-focused
manner to prepare the child for termination from the program in a way consistent
with the child's ability to understand.
