The Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct serves as a guideline of the expected behaviour and attitude of children, parents and staff members at Teddy Bears Montessori.
- No person will be discriminated against based on their race, gender or creed.
- We are required to be careful with our equipment, as is costly to replace.
- Biting, hitting, spitting and screaming is NOT tolerated. If I am angry I need to call someone to help me sort out any problem.
- We are shown the appropriate manner on how to interrupt an adult or child while they are busy.
- We are required to say “please”, “thank you” and “excuse me”.
- I understand that swearing, bad language as well as name calling is inappropriate and unacceptable at our school.
- We are required to walk indoors at all times, as this is a safety precaution within our environment.
- We are NOT allowed to shout at our friends, we need to walk up to them or talk softly to them.
- We are not allowed to bring our toys to school as we might become upset if it gets damaged or misplaced.
- We are NOT allowed to “fiddle” with other people’s private parts, or use explicit sexual behaviour with our friends.
- We are expected to say sorry if we are wrong or if we have hurt someone or their feelings, even if by accident.
- It is kind to share and we strive to be kind individuals.
- When we eat we are expected to sit at the table until we have finished our meal.
- We never play with our food or put things into our mouths that have been lying on the floor or in the garden.
- We always tell the truth.
- We need to co-operate with each other at all times, especially on outings.
- We are not allowed to throw things or sand at each other.
- We are NOT allowed to sit or stand on tables. Chairs are for sitting on.
- We are NOT allowed to go out of the school grounds without an adult next to us.
- We need to keep our bodies clean so we always wash our hands after we have been to the toilet or have been playing outside.
- We like to be in a clean environment, so we help each other to pack away all the things we have been playing with.
- We always make our visitors feel welcome and show them where to find things that they require.
- We may not always listen to our parents but we are very good at imitating them. So please be a good role model for us.
At Teddy Bears Montessori, your child learns through play, every day!
