FAQ

How can the Treasure Tower Reward Program be used in our school?

This positive behavior support program is designed to be used schoolwide with the Treasure Tower located ideally in the main office or media center. Tokens can be rewarded to students by their individual teachers for accomplishments in the classroom. The principal, counselors, and other school staff may also have tokens to award students. As a result, students are motivated and recognized not only in the classroom but throughout the entire school for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: academic achievement, positive behavior, attendance, lunchroom etiquette, cleanliness, math and reading programs, fundraising, birthday prizes and acts of kindness. Since the toy selection is constantly changing, this program will never grow old but will continue to motivate students year after year.

The reward is threefold: (1) the positive recognition and praise received when the student is awarded their token; (2) the fun “event” of redeeming their token at the Treasure Tower and being praised by the office staff; and (3) the fun toy they receive in the end can be something to enjoy and show family and friends, acting as an ongoing reminder of their accomplishment.

What does it cost to have a Treasure Tower® placed in our school?

The Treasure Tower and toys are free! We will install the toy-filled Treasure Tower and will regularly service it and keep the toys stocked and rotated – also for free! Your only cost EVER is just 30 cents per “Super Student Award” token. Tokens are packaged 40 per roll for $12 per roll.

Is there a minimum amount of tokens our school must purchase/use?

Yes. The minimum cost for the program for the school year is $600, which is the equivalent of 2000 tokens. The $600 can be billed upfront or broken into two payments (one at the start of school, the second sometime after winter break). There is not a maximum amount you can purchase/use – some schools use many more than the 2,000 tokens throughout the school year! Tokens are delivered on an as-needed basis. Each school or classroom can distribute and use the tokens any way they choose, as long as they meet the minimum purchase requirement.

How often will our school be serviced?

The Treasure Tower holds a total of about 900 toys. Service visits vary depending on the volume of usage. Generally speaking, we refill the machine about once a month (more often or less often, as needed). Simply have someone contact us when either your toy levels or token supply is getting low and we will do our best to bring you more toys and tokens within a few days.

How is the Treasure Tower Reward program different from other programs?

Teachers will no longer need to spend so much time, effort, and expense ordering or shopping for rewards for their individual classrooms. Teachers and school personnel can still determine their own requirements for awarding tokens; but now they can count on a fixed reward cost of 30 cents per reward. Children will no longer be using classroom time choosing rewards and they won’t spread germs while rummaging through a box or drawer. The problem of candy and food rewards is also eliminated as the Treasure Tower only dispenses toys.

How long am I obligated to keep the Treasure Tower?

The Treasure Tower will remain in the school as long as it is satisfactory to both parties. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time – there are no contracts.

Do we get to choose the toys in our Treasure Tower?

Yes! We have carefully selected toys, puzzles, jewelry, collectibles and bouncy balls appealing to children between the ages of 3 and 17. With 8 different selections in the Treasure Tower, everyone can choose something they like. Check out our Rewards page to see some of the items we offer! We continue to add new items to our inventory and will be happy to make exchanges so as to keep the selection in your Treasure Tower fun and exciting! If a particular toy is ever creating an issue, you can let us know and we’ll switch it out for something else.

Do kids prefer the Treasure Tower over a box or drawer of toys?

Yes! There is something “magical” to kids about the combination of getting a token that tells them they’re a “Super Student” and getting to “shop” for their selection, insert the token, turn the handle and have their prize fall down the chute. It’s a great motivator and a positive behavior support that produces amazing results!
