At times, the need for disciplining children or helping a child to "manage" his or her behavior arises. Staff will always look to the child or children first for answer. We see this as an opportunity for children to attain and practice their negotiating skills as well as a natural part of a child's development. We ask children to identify and share their feelings with others involved. Children are asked to reflect and repair. Most times, going through this process resolves the situation. Occassionally, emotions and behavior may escalate to a point where a teacher will redirect or separate a child from the immediate situation to take a "break" and regain self-control. In all cases, the safety of the child and the group are the primary priority. Behaviors such as biting, spitting, hitting or other forms of aggression need to be addressed immediately to maintain the safety of other children in the class. If the child manifests aggressive behavior, his or her family will be notified, and we may send a child home. If the behavior continues, parents and teachers will work together to determine appropriate next steps if deemed necessary. At King Street Center dtaff, volunteers and parents are forbidden from using any form of cruel and unusual punishment including corporal punishment, which is defined by the use of negative physical touching. Staff is also forbidden from using mental or emotional punishment such as humiliating, shaming, threatening or frightening a child.       Program:   The King Street After school Program philosophy states that school-age children need a variety of opportunities that offer informal, social, educational, and recreational learning. We consider a range of activities designed to nurture and challenge the diverse interests of children and build upon the special talents of staff.     Ages Willing to Serve:   School Age       Program Participation:         Special Services:   Yes       Religious Activity:   No     Sibling Discount:   Yes       Subsidy Provider:   Yes     Area Description:   Fenced Yard, Smoke Free       Building Type/Setting:   Non-Residential     Pets:           Provider Schedule and Services     Type of Care:   After School       Languages Supported:   American Sign Language, Bosnian, Chinese, English, French, Somalian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Other     Special Schedule:           Usual Operating Hours:   15:00:00 to 17:30:00     Days of Operation:   Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday       Transportation:         Schools Served:           Program Meals:   Allergy Awareness   Achievement and Accreditations     Star Level:     5 Star     Current Accreditations:     Accreditation or approved prequalified preschool program Start Date Expiration Date Certificate Date There are no accreditations for this provider.   Site Visits Site visit means: any visit where someone physically visited the site, this may or may not mean that there are violations.
