School-Age Program Tip:Work with Parents to Stop Bullying

Bullying is common among school-age children and it is vital that child care providers/educators work to stop bullying. Moreover, bullying has been linked to recent youth suicides and all childcare programs providing a place for youth must consider having a  NO BULLY POLICY. Furthermore, parents must be aware of your efforts to stop bullying.

A (September 17-19, 2010) article in the USA Weekend provides parents with tips to help their children avoid bullying or becoming a victim of bullying.  Here are some great tips to provide for parents of school-age children:

  • Encourage children to learn to solve problems on their own. Don’t try to “fix” things for them.
  •  Encourage children to do puzzles and play games, such as chess. Doing so leads to rational problem-solving, the article states.
  •  Be firm and fair when setting and following rules. Explain the consequences of breaking rules.

Be sure to post these tips where the children are able to see them and they must also know that your childcare program is a NO BULLY ZONE!

Fundraiser Ideas!

Fundraisers are a great way to raise extra funds for your child care business. Moreover, it is a great way to get parents involved. Fundraiser funds may be used to purchase new material and equipment without impacting your monthly budget.

Are you ready to raise funds for your program?  Do you need new fund-raising ideas?

When planning a fundraiser, always keep in mind that parents are busy and they usually will participate when there is something in it for them, such as earning a discount toward tuition or raising funds by selling products  that moms love.

Have your ever thought about having a Tupperware or Party Light Fundraiser? Tupperware is a great fundraiser because every mom needs an organized kitchen, from the pantry to the refrigerator. 

Parents are busy and a great way to promote relaxation is by having a Party Lite Fundraiser! Party Lite specializes in candles and every home needs the warmth of  candles.

It’s time to kick-off your next fundraiser with Tupperware and/or Party Lite  this fall.
