Communications Policy

In an effort to ensure that both parents and teachers feel they have a clear protocol to follow, if a disagreement should arise, we have prepared a simple policy to be followed. Usually, a direct, non-judgemental approach will resolve concerns. Parents are always welcome to speak to the teachers after class if there is a concern. If there is not enough time to address with the concern a meeting can be scheduled at a time convenient for both parties.

The Guidance/Discipline Policy is used as a guideline when dealing with children who hurt other people or themselves; who are physically or verbally disruptive to the point that other children can no longer enjoy their time in the classroom; who destroy or harm the classroom or environment around them.

University Hill Preschool is committed to creating a safe and respectful learning and play environment for our students. The purpose of these guidelines is to clarify and affirm the expectations of all adults in interacting with children at University Hill Preschool. When you see the word "adult" it refers to any person working, any parent of a current student, volunteers, or anyone otherwise interacting with students on school grounds or during field trips.

University Hill Preschool recognizes the potentially serious risks to children, staff and visitors in emergency or harmful situations. A lockdown may take place where there is a perceived risk of threat to the preschool, its staff, children, visitors or property.

University Hill Preschool is committed to supporting high quality, inclusive practices in an environment that is reflective of every child’s capacity and interest. University Hill Preschool reserves the right to exclude any child for whom the program offered by the school is deemed inappropriate in meeting the developmental, social or behavioural needs for the child within our group setting.
