Behaviour
Management
Discipline at IPK is consistent with the age and
needs of each child. Physical punishment and shouting at children
is never permitted on IPK premises by anyone. In the Kindergarten
we seek to be positive by setting clear boundaries and praising good
behaviour but we accept that there will be times when sanctions need
to be taken. It is important that carers and parents work together
at such times in order to have a consistent approach.
Situations can usually be resolved by redirecting
children to more appropriate activities, direct or indirect praise,
teaching by example and logical consequences. These techniques give
children time to think about their actions. Occasionally we may use
a quiet private talk with the child or ‘time-out’.

If your child is experiencing a
change in his or her home environment that may affect his or her
behaviour, please let the key-worker know. All information given
will be confidential and only passed on to other staff on a ‘need to
know’ basis. In these cases communication is important. In turn,
IPK will keep you informed of any problems we observe and we will
work with you to address the situation. However, should it be
necessary, IPK reserves the right to ask parents to make temporary
or permanent alternative arrangements for their child.
