"Rights and Responsibilities"
a.k.a. Rules and Regulations
As a childcare provider, one of my main goals is to assure that everyone in my care has a comfortable, safe, nurturing (in a word, "positive") environment.
Therefore...
I Have The Right:
- to be happy and treated with kindness.
- to be treated fairly.
- to be safe.
- to hear and be heard and have my opinions and desires considered.
- to participate in all activities.
My Responsibilities Are:
- to honor others and their feelings. This means I will not laugh at or ignore other children or the provider.
- to treat others fairly. I will treat other people like I expect to be treated.
- to keep others safe. This means that I will not hit, kick, push, pinch, bite, smack, swat, slap, shove, pull hair or clothing, or otherwise touch anyone's body without permission. I will not run or throw things indoors.
- to listen when others are speaking and speak respectfully to others. This means that I will not call anyone names or make fun of them.
- to participate in activities and encourage others to participate with me.
