UEC staff is committed to providing a safe, positive and structured environment for all children in the after school program. During childhood, children are learning to be in charge of their own behavior. We establish consistent, easy to understand limits. When out-of-bounds behaviors do occur, it is important for children to understand why the behavior is inappropriate and how to modify it. We work to prevent behavior problems by arranging the setting so that children work in small groups and have a choice of activities. The range of activities will give the child the freedom and ability to experience success and become self-directed. Children are encouraged to verbalize their feelings in order to learn to positively work through strong emotions. Teachers act as role models and encourage children’s appropriate behaviors. We will provide developmentally appropriate verbal explanations and guidance to help children gain confidence and social problem-solving skills. Appropriate behavior is expected and all efforts will be made to assist children in adjusting to the program setting.
