Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
we try to avoid having to discipline by having enough staff, keeping the children engaged in activities and by feeding them every 2-3 hours. if there is a problem we try to refocus the children having a problem. If it is an issue of hurting eachother either physically or emotionally, we try to teach the children empathy and how to be a good friend. We encourage our children to try to handle things on thier own and to expect their friends to treat them well
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.'
Encourage child a to play togetherwith both b and c
Encourage child b to play with a new friend

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

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!
