At Little Scholars, we believe in using positive methods to address unwanted behaviors.

• Positive Reinforcement: We redirect behaviors using positive methods, not punishment.
• Gentle Reminders: Our staff will guide your child back to the task and praise correct behaviors.
• Quiet Time: If disruptions continue, your child may have a calm, individual activity time within the group to refocus. This isn’t punishment but a way to help regulate emotions.
• Collaboration: We’ll work with you to address behaviors and ensure a positive learning environment.

Little Scholars prides itself on having highly qualified and trained staff.

• Foundation Training: All teachers are trained in early childhood education, ensuring best practices in a nurturing setting.

3. Dietary Needs: For severe allergies, you can provide your child’s food, which we’ll safely store and serve to prevent cross-contamination.
4. Prioritize Health: We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of every child. Please communicate any allergies so we can maintain a secure environment.

1. Immediate Notification: We’ll inform you right away.

3. First Aid: Our staff will provide first aid and any necessary interventions as per NYC DOHMH guidelines, including administering medications or an EpiPen if required.

It is important that you inform the daycare center staff of any allergies or medical conditions that your child may have when enrolling them in the center. This will allow the staff to take any necessary precautions to prevent an allergic reaction from occurring.

Staff members are not able to administer any medication, whether it is over the counter or prescription.

• Self-Arrangement: If medication is needed during daycare hours, you must arrange to give it yourself or find someone else to do so.
• First Aid: We provide first aid and topical antibacterial ointment, but not medication.
• Planning: Ensure your child’s medical needs are met by planning for medication administration when required.
