 The Facility Specific Programmes Coordinator along with the Programmes Facility Specific Programme Supervisors are responsible for the day to day running of the Programmes at facilities. They report to the Facility Manager, meeting weekly to discuss the Programmes. Communication outside of weekly meeting can and does occur as the Manager, Coordinator or Supervisor sees fit.

CLM Chill Out Kids Programmes will provide a well-managed service that meets the needs of its local communities.

Communication

For any information that needs to be communicated to Parents/Caregivers regarding their child, the programme will have a cell phone number that can be contacted on. The Facility Specific Programme Coordinator will also have an email address that can be supplied, and the programme has a Communication Book where Parents/Caregivers can leave messages.

 

Enrolment Procedures

Before a child can attend a programme, an Online Enrolment must be completed in full. All terms and conditions must be thoroughly read and understood. If the applicant does not understand any of the terms and conditions, they will be advised to consult the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator for further verification. The Facility Specific Programme Coordinator will be responsible for checking all enrolments for completeness before a child can be accepted into a programme.

An online enrolment must be completed for each programme.

  • Bookings must be completed in full on the Online Booking System: www.chilloutkids.co.nz
  • Parents/Caregivers are strongly advised to register early to avoid disappointment as there are only limited spaces available.
  • Telephone bookings do not secure a place on the programme. All bookings must be accompanied with an online enrolment and paid prior to confirming.
  • Parents/Caregivers are responsible for notifying the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator of changes to personal information i.e. contacts details, address or person(s) entitled to pick up children. This can also be updated on the profile section of the Online Booking System.
  • The final decision of enrolments is at the discretion of the facility specific management.
  • All children are required to show “school behaviours” such as being able to change themselves, and using the toilet unassisted. Staff are unable to assist with helping children get changed or help with toileting due to child protection policies.
  • Enrolments will not be approved if there are outstanding fees on previous bookings.

If an online booking has not been completed, CLM Chill Out Kids Programme staff will not be able to drop/collect the child to/from school. It is the responsibility of the Parent/Caregiver to ensure bookings are completed each term/programme, and maintain all details up to date, such as changes to the school they are attending.

Fees

All fees are paid directly to the specific facility the programme is being run from. Fees must be paid in advance.

All WINZ bookings required a deposit to be paid per booking. This includes $20 per child for Before/After School Care, and $40 per child for School Holiday Programme.

Fees for holiday programmes vary from day to day and this will depend on the facility activities.

The programme operates with limited numbers of children. If a child is absent (for whatever reason) CLM has to meet the same staffing expenses regardless and accordingly may not be able to give credits for days that children do not attend the programme.

If there is an unpaid fee/s for a previous booking, a new booking cannot be approved until fees are paid in full.

Bookings will remain on the ‘Pending’ status until payment/deposit has been made.

 

WINZ Bookings

All WINZ bookings must pay a deposit per child prior to the programme commencing. This includes $20 per child for Before/After School Care, and $40 per child for School Holiday Programme. A booking will not be approved until the deposit has been received. Once the WINZ subsidy has been approved and received, the Parent/Caregiver must pay the remaining portion of programme fees on a weekly basis. The Facility Specific Programme Coordinator will make Parents/Caregivers aware of what the contribution amount towards programme fees are.

WINZ forms will not be completed until an online enrolment booking has been made.

 

Credit Card / Direct Debit payments

For days that are cancelled that meet our cancellation criteria, a credit will be loaded for their next booking. Credit Card and Direct Debit payments will be processed through our payment provider Payrix.

Additional Term: Failed Payments

All failed payments associated with booking agreements will be subject to a $10.00 failed payment fee. Failed payment reasons may include, but are not restricted to, insufficient funds or invalid credit card details. In the event of a failed payment, the penalty fee will be added to your account balance. The staff members from the facility will promptly notify you of the failed payment and the subsequent fee. Note: If you are notified of incorrect entry of credit card details at the point of entry, no penalty fees will be applied.

 

Drop off and pick up

All Parents/Caregivers must enter through the front main entrance of the facility and report directly to the sign-in/out table, where the attendance role can be signed. Children’s school bags will be available in close proximity of the sign-in/out table. Communication will be made with the child to meet at the sign-in/out table. If Parent/Caregiver needs to walk through the facility or outdoor area during programme hours, a staff member will escort them.

Parents/Caregivers are expected to sign their children ‘in’ and ‘out’ of the Before School, After School, and School Holiday Programmes.

Parents/Caregivers must inform staff if a person who is not listed on the online booking enrolment will be collecting the child.

Staff will not release a child to a person who is not identified on the child’s personal details report.

In the event of an unauthorized person collecting the child, the Parent/Caregiver will and must be contacted immediately to authorize release of the child. Verbal communication is required. 

Parents/Caregivers must inform staff if a person who is not listed on the online booking enrolment will be collecting the child.

If a child does not arrive for the Chill Out programme, the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator will check the Online Booking System, emails and phone messages to see if the Parent/Caregiver has contacted the facility. The Parent/Caregiver is reminded to call in and give notice if the child will not be attending – this must be done before 9:00 am on the day for the Chill Out programme.

If the child is not signed out of the Chill Out programme the Parent/Caregiver is contacted to re-affirm the collection of the child and the Facility Specific Programmes Supervisor is to sign the child out on behalf of the Parent/Caregiver. The Parent/Caregiver is reminded to sign the child out in future. 

Reported absences are to be recorded in the Online Booking System and also logged on the Programme Attendance Role. 

A permission to leave form can be completed by the Parent/Caregiver in order for the child to leave the facility directly. 

Please note that our programmes will collect the children within 20 minutes of school ending. The school will be contacted if the driver is late, (because of traffic, missing child from previous school, etc.). A CLM Chill Out Kids Programme staff member will wait with the children if 20 minutes have passed since school ended.

The following steps will be taken if the child attending the Chill Out Programme is not at the meeting spot for After School Care pickups: 

  1. Roll call will be checked prior to the vehicle leaving the facility.
  2. Staff will confirm with the school reception if the child has attended school that day.
  3. Staff will check with the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator and facility to see if messages have been left.
  4. Staff will check classroom, playground, and any other immediate areas.
  5. Staff will contact Parent/Caregiver. If no answer, emergency contacts will be phoned.
  6. If other kids are waiting, a message will be left with the school reception notifying them that the staff member will leave to drop remaining children back at the facility, and will return to the school afterwards. The school is asked to phone if child is located during this time.
  7. If 30 minutes has lapsed with no communication from Parents/Caregivers/or School and the child still has not been located, the Police will be contacted to notify them of missing child.
  8. If child is found, the Parents/Caregivers/School/Police will be phoned to notify them.

 

The following steps will be taken if the child attending the Chill Out Programme is not dropped off within half an hour of commencement of the programme: 

  • Staff will check no messages have been left by Parent/Caregiver and to make sure the child is definitely attending that day. Also contact the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator.
  • Check online booking enrolment details.
  • Parents/Caregivers will be telephoned.
  • If Parent/Caregiver is unavailable, emergency contacts will be telephoned.
  • If no contact has been made by the Parent/Caregiver or emergency contacts after 30 mins, the local police constable will be contacted.

The following steps will be taken if a child is not picked up at the end of the Chill Out Kids Programme: 

If a Parent/Caregiver has still not picked up their child/ren 5 minutes after scheduled time, the following steps will apply below: 

  1. The Facility Specific Programme Supervisor will check with facility staff to see whether a Parent/Caregiver has called in.
  2. Facility Specific Programme Supervisor will check online enrolment, emails and phone messages to see whether Parent/Caregiver had made prior arrangements for child/ren to stay longer.
  3. At all times a member of staff will remain with the child who must be accompanied by another person.

If there is no evidence of Parent/Caregiver contacting the facility or making prior arrangements, the Parent/Caregiver will be immediately contacted to find out the reason for lateness and the time they will be in to collect their child/ren.

Programme staff will continuously attempt to contact Parents/Caregivers or the child’s emergency contacts. If 30 minutes has lapsed from the agreed pick up time and no contact has been made with Parents/Caregivers then staff will contact the Police and ask for advice on what steps to take. Police may be requested to collect child and return to police station until Parent/Caregiver have made contact.

 

Late Pick-Ups

For late pick-ups, a charge of $1 per child per minute will apply, unless authorized by the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator.

Written permission is required for a child to leave the programme unaccompanied. Parents/Caregivers must be informed that the CLM Specific Facility takes no responsibility for the child when they leave our care/facility doors.

 

Missing Child Procedure

  1. A thorough check of the surrounding area will take place.
  2. Cameras (if applicable) PA announcement, ask other children.
  3. Check of outside area.
  4. If the child has not been found the Facility Specific Programme Supervisor will contact the child’s Parent/Caregiver, followed by a phone call to the Police, (if Police required).

A roll call will be done once all the children have arrived at the facility and at regular intervals throughout the day. 

If programme activities are organized to take the children out of the facility the following procedures will take place:

CLM Chill Out Kids Programme staff cannot physically hold a child at the facility against their will. CLM have given Parent/Caregiver the responsibility of informing children of their need to stay at the facility until their Parent/Caregiver collects them. If a child does choose to leave the facility and cannot be talked into staying by a staff member, the Parent/Caregiver will be contacted immediately. If the child’s safety is of concern CLM staff will intervene to manage any risk of harm to the child.

Behaviour Management 

Positive, appropriate behaviour will be encouraged by using praise and rewarded with example. This can be seen in our terms and condition on the CLM Chill Out Kids Programme website under the Behaviour Management header.

Action becomes necessary when: 

  • Any child displaying inappropriate or unsafe behaviour that is intrusive on another person’s enjoyment of an activity.
  • Any child that acts or displays abuse or violence, (continuous non-listening, fighting, spitting, hitting, continuous swearing, inappropriate conversation’s) towards other children and/or staff.
  • Disruption to the activity being carried out, either by their own actions or by actions involving other children.
  • Damage to property is incurred.

If a child displays such behaviour’s, the child may be removed from the programme immediately and future bookings cancelled.

Positive reinforcement will be used at all times and a stimulating and varied programme will be provided to ensure against boredom. Each facility will use their own reward system such as Chill Out certificates, star charts and verbal praise. 

Consequences must be appropriate and may include: 

  • Being removed from the activity and put into time-out. The child will be made to sit away from the group in a clearly visible spot for a period determined by the Facility Specific Programmes Supervisor (usually 5 minutes).
  • Before the child is returned to the group the staff member will review with them what behaviour is expected.
  • Parents/Caregivers will be informed if their child has been put into Time-out.
  • Time outs may be customized to the child’s needs.

 

When a child misbehaves or ignores programme rules staff will: 

  1. Remind the child in an assertive but not aggressive manner what is expected of them and the consequences of disobeying – 1st warning.
  2. If the behaviour continues the child will be reminded again and warned of the consequences that will result – 2nd warning.
  3. If the child continues to misbehave after two warnings the consequence will be enforced.
  4. A behaviour document form will be completed, stating the child’s behaviour, response of the staff, and response of the child. If three of these have been given within a programme, the child will be removed from the programme. This includes cancellation of current booking and the right of CLM not to accept any future bookings. Staff have the ability to remove the child sooner if behaviour is of a serious concern.
  5. If the child continually misbehaves the Parent/Caregiver will be contacted.
  6. If a child is required to be removed from the programme, Parents/Caregivers/emergency contacts will be contacted requesting for their child to be picked up. A plan may be put in place for the child to remain on the programme for the remainder of the day only if approved by the Facility Manager.
  7. At no time will punitive discipline be used, this includes punishing children by withholding food or drink, physical abuse, isolation or using demeaning or condescending comments.
  8. Staff will maintain a fair, consistent and positive approach at all times.
  9. When children are in conflict with each other, staff will encourage the children to remedy the situation themselves. Staff will aid them by making suggestions on how to do this. If the children cannot resolve the situation themselves, they will be removed from the situation.

 

Responding to Cultural Issues 

CLM Chill Out Kids Programmes have no unique cultural content or specific ethnic focus. If any cultural issues arise CLM Chill Out Kids Programme staff will work and respond in a manner that acknowledges and respects individuals’ culturally-based beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, and customs.

CLM Chill Out Kids Programmes welcome children of all cultures. Staff will make every attempt to ensure all children of every culture feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings. Steps including making all children aware of each culture, using different languages to greet, and using a ‘buddy system’ to respond to any cultural issue that may arise.

 

Children with Special Needs 

CLM Chill Out Kids Programmes can cater for children with special needs, once the Facility Specific Programme Coordinator is confident that both the needs of the child and children on the programme can be meet. A trial on the programme may be offered to help make this decision.

Full information about the child’s requirements including medication, diet and supervision, must be provided by the Parents/Caregiver at the time of enrolment. If the child requires further special aids, other than those already provided i.e. modified facilities, extra staff or staff training, management will make final approval on enrolment.

Each case will be considered individually and every effort will be made to include the child within the programme. 

If a child with special needs is accepted into the programme the following guidelines will apply: 

  • The child will be buddied up with another programme participant to help with a smooth transition into the programme.
  • The child will be monitored initially on a daily basis to ensure that the child’s needs are being met.
  • Strategies for dealing with behaviour issues will be discussed with the Parent/Caregiver on enrolment and procedures put in place for staff to follow should the need arise. All strategies must be agreed upon with the Parents/Caregivers and the Parents/Caregivers must be informed of any issues.
  • We cannot provide one to one care.
  • If Parents/Caregivers haven’t disclosed any medication requirements, or the child is displaying behaviour’s resulting from undisclosed medical factors, the booking may be cancelled. It is also the Parents/Caregivers responsibility to update the programme on any changes/update to medication and medical conditions.

 

Policy & Procedure Review 

All Chill Out Kids Programme policies and procedures will be reviewed on a yearly basis at the Chill Out Conference, and will be conducted by the Programmes Manager and Programmes Coordinators. A full copy of all policies and procedures are kept on all Chill Out Kids Programme sites and is available to Parents/Caregivers and staff.   These will be updated by the Programmes Manager as new guidelines are introduced.
