Bully Free Zone Policy

At Children’s Art Studio Inc., we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all our students. We have developed a comprehensive Anti-Bullying Procedure to maintain a Bully-Free Zone within our studio. Through proactive observation and early intervention, we are dedicated to addressing and preventing any acts of bullying, ensuring that every child feels respected, valued, and empowered in our space.

Step 1

We prioritize observation and early intervention to prevent bullying. Any bullying behavior will be addressed promptly, with immediate action taken to ensure the situation is resolved. Support will be provided to both students involved, fostering understanding, growth, and a positive resolution.

Step 2

If bullying persists, a conversation will be arranged between Children’s Art Studio Inc. staff and the parents or legal guardians to offer support for both students involved.

Step 3

If bullying persists and cannot be resolved despite intervention from parents or legal guardians, Children’s Art Studio Inc. reserves the right to remove the instigating child (or children) from the art program without a refund.

Bully-Free Zone Definition

At Children’s Art Studio Inc., we are dedicated to maintaining a Bully-Free Zone that embodies our commitment to a safe and healthy studio environment. We define this space as one that actively promotes mutual respect, tolerance, and acceptance among all students, teaching staff, volunteers, and parents or legal guardians. By practicing CARE—Compassion, Awareness, Respect, and Empathy—we foster a positive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and supported. Our approach ensures that every individual in our studio contributes to a culture of kindness and understanding, creating a nurturing space where creativity and growth can flourish without the fear of bullying.

Definition of Bullying: Bullying is defined as targeted and repetitive behavior intended to harm, intimidate, or undermine an individual. It involves repeated actions or words directed at a specific person, creating a persistent pattern that impacts their emotional, social, or physical well-being. By recognizing bullying as both targeted and repetitive, we emphasize the importance of addressing and preventing ongoing harm to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all.
