Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline

We make the rules very clear and use the treat others the way you want to be treated philosophy. We keep the students very engaged in age appropriate activities that prevents alot of discipline issues. If there is an issue we follow the one minute for each year old rule.

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 try to get chikd b to play with some one else or come up with a game that all three children could play. I would discuss with the whole class the issue of treating others the way you want to be treated and talk about feelings.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
