Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
#26 - My only concern is that the front door is always unlocked and there is no one at the entrance to check people in during the middle of the day. In terms of discipline, the teachers are excellent. They use various stategies that meet the needs of the specific child. They are very fair and work things out very efficiently. They always have contact with the parents if an incident occurs in the classroom.
