Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Certain behaviour is not tolerated - such as kicking another child, biting, or hitting. The child will have a consequence such as time out as well as a discussion about why the bahaviour occurred. The situaion is resolved with an apology if necessary. Parents are also notified. We do have a "respectful school policy".
Director's Response to a Sample Discipline Scenario
Description of how teachers handle the following scenario: Child A and Child B are good friends and usually play together. One day, Child A decides to play with Child C and tells Child B, 'I don't want to play with you today. I'm playing with Child C instead.'
The teacher will explain about choice and hurt feelings to child a and child b and help child b to transition to another child to play with or the teacher.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
