At KidHub, we encourage a positive environment and we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate child care immediately in any situation deemed unhealthy, non-collaborative, uncooperative, or where the client or child is abusive (sexually, physically, verbally, or emotionally), or shows any form of hostility, aggression (physically or verbally), harmful neglect, or harassment towards other children, staff members, or clients. A zero-tolerance policy in this matter is in effect.
KidHub also has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse, harassment, molestation, corporal/physical punishment, emotional punishment, neglect or the denial of necessities for any reason whatsoever. You will be trained over the course of your employment on a variety of positive behaviour management techniques to use when trying to get the attention of the whole group. We also encourage you to bring in your own positive techniques that you feel will meet the needs of the children that you are working with.
KidHub staff are dedicated to the safety and healthy development of all children. KidHub stands firmly in line with and follows the Child Protection Act. In section 22 the Act reads that "…every person who has knowledge, or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is in need of protection shall, without delay, report or cause to be reported the circumstances…" (Child Protection Act of PEI, 2000). KidHub staff are trained and required to confidentially record any concerns they may have about a child's well-being and are encouraged not to ignore their concerns but to report them to the proper authorities in a timely manner. The final decision to report is the responsibility of the adult who is concerned.
We follow an "Open-Door Policy" at KidHub where all room doors must remain open at all times with the only exception of a child using the bathroom. If a child needs assistance in the bathroom, staff will communicate with one another about assisting the child.
In the event that an allegation of abuse or harassment is reported (by a child, parent/client or staff member towards a child, parent/client or staff member), KidHub:
