Biting Policy

If the bite does not draw blood and is not on the face:

Babies: biter is immediately placed in a crib
Toddlers: biter is immediately placed in time-out

If the bite draws blood, leaves a mark, is on the face or occurs a second time parents will be called immediately. The biters parents will be expected to come and pick-up their child and take them out of the program for the remainder of the day.

If biting continues, the Director will discuss the issue with the parent/guardian to determine the reason for the biting. The parent will be expected to come stay in the class with the child for the next session and if biting occurs, discipline their child immediately.

If biting still continues we will ask that the child be withheld from the program for a period of time.
