Discipline/Guidance Policy

{As required by the State of Indiana – Provider name: Lafayette Urban Ministry}


It is very important that a child’s development is nurtured through caring, patience and understanding.  However, while caring for your children, we may have to respond to your child’s misbehavior.  Hitting, kicking, spitting, hostile verbal behavior and other behaviors which will hurt another child are not permitted.

In response to these behaviors, we will not use:

  • Threats or bribes
  • Physical punishment, even if requested by the parent
  • Deprive your child of food or other basic needs
  • Humiliation or isolation

In response to misbehavior, we will:

  • Respect your child
  • Establish clear rules
  • Be consistent in enforcing rules
  • Use positive language to explain desired behavior
  • Speak calmly while bending down to your child’s eye level
  • Give clear choices
  • Redirect your child to a new activity
  • Move your child to a time-out area for no longer than one minute per year of your child’s age, if necessary

If your child’s behavior is very disruptive or harmful to him/herself or other children, we will discuss the issue with you privately.  If the situation can be resolved, the child may remain enrolled.  If we are unable to resolve the issue, you may be asked to make other child care arrangements.


Please also see the other LUM behavior management documents in your registration packet.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

As a parent, you may have some concerns or wish to offer suggestions.  We may modify the above plan with agreed upon suggestions. Additional techniques to be used with my child and suggestions may be emailed to Kristi Hogue (khogue@lumserve.org).

Your LUM Camp registration will NOT be accepted without a letter to your child included.

Behavior Expectations for LUM Camp


Each child is expected to behave in a respectful way at LUM Camp. 


Listed below are rules each child will need to follow to make camp a wonderful experience for all:

  • No put downs or name calling.  Camp is a time to have fun, show respect for each other and make new friends.
  • Each camper is expected to leave his hands and feet to himself and not get into others belongings.  Therefore, we will not tolerate fist fights.
  • Be a good listener and follow directions.
  • Always stay with a counselor or adult leader.  A camper is never to go off by him/herself.
  • Be a team player and display a good attitude.

Parent/guardian of each camper must read and understand the Behavior Expectations of camp.

Parent/guardian of each camper must agree to bring their child home from camp if he/she is asked by the director to leave camp based on the child’s behavior.
