Behavior Management/Discipline Policy:
Musical Arts Camp staff will create a fun and safe environment for participants in the program. Praise and positive reinforcement are used as effective methods of behavior management. Children who do not respond to these methods or who are harmful to others or destructive to property will be dealt with in a professional, positive, and timely manner to correct the behavior.
In the event a child’s harmful or destructive behavior cannot be corrected by Musical Arts Camp staff with a verbal warning or other form of behavior modification, the incident will be discussed privately with parents/guardians. A second conversation with the parents/guardians will be held if the behavior is repeated or new behavior problems occur with the same child. Dismissal from the Musical Arts Camp may occur at this time.
