I called twice the tall girl said I am sending it now. twice she said that. If there was no room, then just say that. Don't tell me they can start one day and then never hear from you very rude.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Our plan of correction starts with the Center Director, Hannah Ward (myself), completing a training called "Big Emotions and Self-Regulation for Adults and Children". The training discusses how feelings of anger and frustration are normal. However, as adults we are expected to model for our kids how to appropriately respond when having these feelings. The training also gives ways to navigate these emotions and tips on self-regulation. Upon completion of the training, I will bring what I learned to my staff at our upcoming, monthly staff meeting. At the meeting I want to discuss the following as a group; - How can we regulate ourselves when we are feeling frustrated or angry? - How can we model this for our students? - If we are unable to regulate ourselves, what are next steps? - How can we appropriately discipline students and what does this look like at all age levels? This discussion would be a way for staff to self-reflect and collaborate as a team. |
