Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
Children are given the opportunity to talk amongst themselves to try to solve problems/conflicts, with the teacher's guidance. Children having a hard time getting along or needing to be separated are told to sit out from activities, either on the couch or at the table, until they feel they can re-join the group in a positive way. Children are NEVER disciplined physically or verbally abused in any way. They are treated with respect, care, love and individual attention.
Parent #2
I am pleased with all facilities and policies.
Parent #3
none
Parent #4
I am a grand parent, not a parent, but the student I am answering for was in my care 50 hours a week for the 1st two years of his life and I have visited the school and both dropped off and picked up the child from school and have been very impressed with the people and the curriculum
