11. There is a time-out policy for discipline. The child is removed from the group and allowed to regain composure. The teacher makes sure the child understands the reason for the time-out and helps him/her re-enter group in a positive way. In cases of constant and/or extreme discipline problems, NBBC Child Care Center reserves the right to dismiss children from our program. Before dismissal, except in extreme cases, the administrator will hold a conference with the parent(s) and a probationary period will be established, usually for two weeks. This gives the child opportunity to imrove his/her behavior. If your child is expelled from school for any reason, he/she will not be allowed to come to the center until the official time is up.
    
    

We at New Bridge Baptist Church Child Care Center will do our best to educate and befriend your child, but we reserve the right after a conference with the parents to terminate our services to your child if he or she has repeated inappropriate discipline behaviors or displays behavior inappropriate to the purpose and philosophy of the child care center.
