Discipline

OVERALL RATING (4.6)

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 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.'


If child C is not complaining the teacher will not mention about it or force Child A to go to B. But if it hurts the feelings of Child B ( you can see the reaction of the face) teacher will approach to Child B and tell him ' Can we be a friend today.' Or offer some other toys to the Child B. Sometimes we can redirect the child and tell them how we be friends with everyone like how God likes/loves all of us.
