Aerials Gymnastics Playschool is part of Aerials Gymnastics Club and is run by a board of directors, which consists of volunteer parents. We are a non-profit organization. Parents are encouraged to become involved and attend all general meetings.

Aerials Gymnastics Playschool embraces the concept of “learning through play” and offers a unique program combining playschool activities with gymnastics. By enriching children’s play, they learn cooperation, problem solving, language, mathematics and how to express themselves in a creative and socially acceptable manner. They develop curiosity, self-esteem, strength and coordination, self-directions and values.

Our program is staffed by a certified Early Childhood educator & an Early Childhood Assistant who are both trained by Alberta Gymnastics Federation.

CHILD DISCIPLINE POLICYDeveloping self-control and learning appropriate social behaviour is essential to a child's social development. Appropri-ate behaviour management or "discipline" methods serve to guide a child's behaviour while protecting and enhancing their self-esteem. In guiding children's behaviour, two types of methods are used: preventive and intervention strate-gies. Preventive strategies are used to decrease the chance that the unwanted behaviour will occur. They include appropriately planned programs and setting clear and simple rules children can remember. Intervention strategies are used to stop or redirect undesirable behaviour when it occurs, and include calming, redirecting, and reassuring the children. Our discipline policies are as follows:

Step 1 – The teacher will take the steps to support the child in changing their inappropriate behaviour. Step 2 – If the behaviour persists, the parent will be phoned to pick up their child.

If the teacher/coach feels that a child is disruptive to the point that learning or enjoyment of other children is being affected on a recurring basis, the Playschool staff will develop an action plan with the parents, identifying the time frame in which improvement must occur. The action plan will be shared with the child. If the disruptive behaviour continues, the parent will be asked to assist their child/ren in the gym and/or classroom. If disruptive behaviour persists, the parent will be asked to withdraw the child from the program. Discipline will not involve physical punishment, confinement or isolation, verbal degradation or emotional deprivation. Discipline plan will be executed by the teacher.Child disciplinary action must be reasonable in the circumstances; physical punishment, verbal, or physical degradation or emotional deprivation is not allowed; must not deny or threaten to deny any basic necessity; and must not use or permit the use of physical restraint, confinement or isolation.

OFF SITE ACTIVITY AND EMERGENCY EVACUATION Off-site activities occur occasionally. Parents are notified of activity in a newsletter and a permission slip must be signed and returned to the teacher. Ex. We walk to the neighbouring park at the end of the year.Required adult/child ratio is maintained. Portable records are with the teacher at all times. In the event of an emergency evacuation, the teacher will help the children line up and leave the building according to the emergency exit plan. Portable records are with the teacher & roll call is taken. Parents will be informed. Fire drills are discussed and performed.

ACCIDENT OR ILLNESS & POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKIn the event of an incident (defined as an adverse traumatic event), or an accident requiring first aid, children will be given immediate attention. If necessary, first aid will be administered and/ or medical assistance obtained. Parents/guardians will be notified immediately. An incident report will be filed. When a child has symptoms of an illness that might be spread to others, it is important that the child be kept at home.

Please DO NOT bring your child to Playschool if they are not feeling well: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, excessive coughing & runny nose, pink eye, unexplained rash, green mucous or has symptoms that prevent child from participatingcomfortably in program activities.

If child becomes ill at playschool, parent will be notified promptly to pick child up. Child will wait in the office with the administration until you arrive.

They may return to class when they are symptom-free for 24 hours or if they have a Doctor’s note stating there is no longer a health risk. Details will be recorded in an incident report and filed in office: name, date, symptoms, time parent was called, time child was removed from class and where they stayed until parent arrived, and date child returned to class. Reports will be filed and reviewed to identify any trends or issues. Annual incident reports are submitted to the regional child care office.
