Change in Your Child's Daily Schedule
Activities are planned and materials prepared before the start of the school day. Therefore, it is helpful for the teachers to know if your child is not coming to school. Please call the school or send a message in Brightwheel if your child is sick or taking the day off. Also, the staff needs to know if your child will be leaving school at a different time than scheduled. It is extremely important that you notify the staff of any change in parent's address, phone, or place of employment.

Separation
It is common for young children to be concerned about leaving their parents. Your child may be anxious about leaving you when coming to school. Sometimes this appears on the first day, sometimes it appears later, and sometimes it does not happen at all. It could be comforting to your child to keep an item belonging to their parents with them for security and assurance. Pictures from home are also helpful to relax the child. Children like to know where you will be and what you will be doing while they are at school. We want to work with you to help your child make a happy and smooth transition.

Policy on Celebrations at Moscow Day School
Moscow Day School serves a diverse array of families. Our cultural, ethnic, social and religious backgrounds reflect our diversity. We place differing values and expectations on the many holidays and events we celebrate at MDS. We believe these differences promote strength and provide opportunity to teach understanding, respect, tolerance, and true appreciation of the rich cultural heritage our children share.
Teaching our children about a sampling of cultural and religions enhance their education at Moscow Day School. As we celebrate our holidays and special events we will strive to emphasize both the cultural diversity and the community we share. We will respect and enjoy cultural traditions.
Teachers will choose from among a variety of celebrations from year to year and will be given flexibility to design and interpret related events according to their professional judgment. They will provide parents with schedules of the celebrations they plan and will welcome parental input and participation. Whenever possible, celebrations will be integrated into the curriculum to maximize both education and enjoyment.

Parents and Visitors at Our School
You should always feel welcome to join your child at school. There is a possibility the teacher will not be able to talk to you during the school day, but you can still enjoy spending time with your child. It is also a special treat for your child to have a parent come to school and eat lunch with him or her. Lunch is from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Grandparents, friends, and other authorized special people are also welcome to visit while the child is present at school. Authorization for visitors should be granted using the pick-up permission form. Visits are limited to 30 minutes at one time (maximum of 12 per month). This time is set to prevent disruption of the teaching experience for all students. Visitors must sign in on the Visitor/Volunteer log, which is available outside the main office.
Due to COVID-19 we are currently reducing the number of traffic in the building during school hours. Children are dropped off and picked up at the front doors, while the parent/guardian waits for a staff member to retrieve your child and their belongings. We hope to reopen the school to visitors as soon as it's safe. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our school, children and staff as safe as possible.

Clothing
Your child is here to play and have fun. Please send your child in clothes that are welcome to get dirty. A major part of our program focuses on self-help skills. We ask that you try to dress your child in appropriate clothing so they can dress and undress themselves. Trouble items might include belts, overalls and snaps.
We are involved in outside play everyday, unless it is pouring rain, it feels like it is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside, or above 95 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Please send the appropriate clothing for each kind of weather.
Winter weather clothing: During the winter we love to play in the snow. Please supply your child everyday with outside clothing. Include a heavy coat, snow pants, boots, hat and mittens. Label everything. MDS is not responsible to provide these winter clothing items.
Creativity is an important component of our program. The children work with tempera paints, finger paints, water colors, food coloring, markers, crayons, chalk, glue, play dough, sand, water, and many other creative materials. While we have the children wear smocks, it is difficult to prevent all contact between clothing and materials. Please have your child wear clothes that can handle the severe workout our young creators give them.

Discipline
Discipline is a process by which adults help children learn to control his or her own actions and decisions. Our goal is to help the children develop control from within, rather than depending on outside control from adults. The development of social skills including emotional control, coping or delay of gratification, appropriate self-expression, problem solving and decision-making are important learning tasks for children. The staff at MDS will facilitate learning through guidance that is related to the specific behavior and appropriate to each child’s needs and development.
We believe in positive reinforcement. We will strive to increase good feelings and good behavior in our children. We will emphasize rules and regulations that children must learn for their own safety, for the safety of others, and to enable them to be productive members of society. The general policy will be to create an environment that seeks to eliminate potential problem behavior while promoting independence and self-esteem. We will provide clear limits for behavior and firmly and consistently enforce them, as well as providing opportunities to practice positive behavior. Positive behavior will earn positive praise.
Techniques the staff will use include:
Specific guidelines for situations that are potentially hurtful or dangerous will include:
No form of corporal punishment will be permitted on the premises by anyone, including parents.

- Stopping the behavior immediately and physically restraining the child if necessary,
- Substituting an appropriate activity or material for whatever the child is doing or using.
- Redirecting the child to a proper activity in a positive manner.
- Accepting the emotion, but redirecting the response to an acceptable alternative.
- Removing the child from the problem situation to a chair or a cubby near, but not involved in the group activity.
- Explaining to the child what was unacceptable about the behavior and why, and inviting the child to return to the group as soon as he or she feels ready to accept the limits.
- Noticing and praising the child’s positive behavior after disciplinary action.
- Help the child right the mistake if possible.
No form of corporal punishment will be permitted on the premises by anyone, including parents.
Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention
All staff and volunteers are mandated by law to report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect. Abuse may be physical, emotional, or sexual. Neglect is the failure, refusal, or inability, for reasons other than poverty, to provide necessary care, food, clothing, shelter, or medical care. Teachers who intentionally fail to report suspicion are subject to fines or imprisonment under the law.
To prevent child abuse and neglect, this program:
A report of child abuse is not an accusation. It is a request for more information by a reporter who has reasonable suspicion that abuse or neglect may be occurring. A report does not mean that our employees must determine that abuse and/or neglect has occurred. In Idaho, Child Protective Services is responsible for that determination.
*These strategies are part of our sexual abuse prevention plan.

Assessing Needs and Concerns for Children
Moscow Day School welcomes all children and is committed to providing developmentally appropriate early learning and development experiences that support the full access and participation of each and every child. We believe that each child is unique and work in partnership with families and other professionals involved with the child to provide the support every child needs to reach their full potential.
Staff will attempt to make any adaptations or modifications necessary to meet the needs of the children. Schedules, routines and activities are flexible and early childhood educators will work with therapists, special educators as well as other professionals to integrate individual accommodations, modifications and strategies into classroom routines and activities. Any adaptations will be reviewed with families and other professionals supporting the child.
If the Director feels an outside evaluation is necessary to identify potential special needs, he or she will work with the family of the child. The Director will support the family through the process of potential evaluation, diagnosis, and interventions. If possible, Moscow Day School staff will attempt to implement interventions and behavior plans put in place by the child’s educational team. If it is determined Moscow Day School is unable to meet the needs of a particular student (including, but not limited to, extreme behavior challenges) and a different setting is more appropriate the Director will communicate that assessment directly with the family while maintaining full confidentiality and integrity of the child and family involved. If the parent(s) or guardian(s) refuse an outside evaluation or a medical professional’s assessment and the Director has determined one is necessary for the safety and/or success of the child and other children at Moscow Day School, the family may be asked to find a different facility better equipped to serve the needs of the child.

Diapers- Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool:
Children in diapers should have an adequate daily supply of disposable diapers and wipes at the center. We will send you a note via Brightwheel when your diaper supply is low. Please send the diapers or wipes in immediately. If your child has diaper rash or any other condition that requires the use of a medication, written permission is needed. We follow the guidelines from our Health Consultant while changing diapers. The center will work with the parents on potty training routines that they wish us to follow. Please inform the teacher when your child is in training. We will need at least three (3) extra set of clothes, socks and shoes during potty training.
