Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
We use redirection and mediation in our preschool program.
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 have a mediation between child A, B, and C and show them our school values and then review the value of 'caring'. After talking about 'caring friends' we would encourage the children to find a game that they could play as a group.
Food Allergies
- We do not allow certain foods in the classroom
Medications
- We call parents when the child needs medication
