Discipline

OVERALL RATING (4.5)

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

Our main concern is the safety of all the children. That children learn to respect each other, each others bodies and school property. If conflicts arise, we redirect children, encourage children to talk to each other to settle their differences with an adult as support.

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.'


We would encourage the children to play together, and help them see the value of all relationships and help them understand the classroom is an all inclusive atmosphere. Another idea would be to help Child B form new relationships within the classroom.
