Please note: In being absolutely transparent on what our program is, and what it isn't, please be aware of the following and make sure this program is a good fit for your family before proceeding. Auburn's Best follows a Green Light, Yellow Light, Red Light system. All children start on green. If a child must go into time-out, they are moved to yellow, however they may resume regular activities after their time-out period. Subsequent time-outs result in check marks on the child's yellow card. If a child is not behaving at the dojo- they will not behave out in public and we will not take them on a field trip-primarily for safety concerns. If a child acquires 4 check marks on their yellow card, we will call for ONE parent conference to work together on ways we can support you as the parent so that your child can return to green and remains on Green. If no improvement in behavior occurs after the Parent Conference, the child is moved to Red. Red indicates a suspension of one week from attending the after school program. If this week suspension does not correct behavior upon their return, then the parents will be asked to find another program more suited to their needs. We gear our program to BEST behavior and to children who want to attend, comply, and have fun. We believe the parent or guardian is the disciplinarian of their child- Our program strives to create a positive environment full of incentives for best behavior, but we are not the disciplinarians. Our goal is that ALL children go home each day saying they cannot wait to get back. This is only achieved if ALL children are on their best behavior- rather than a few on their worst. We have a zero tolerance for poor behavior that does not end up being corrected within the structure of our systems. We also have a ZERO tolerance for bullying in ANY form. If you feel that your child does not listen to your voice at home, they will not listen to ours. If your child listens well to you at home, they will listen well to us. We believe all children are THE BEST that attend our program and do not want children getting an idea they aren't the best by going into multiple time-outs or even a RED. Since we believe discipline comes from the home, we believe it is the parent/guardians responsibility to ensure proper behavior of their child during the after school program by following up with discipline at home. *
