Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (4.5) |
|
Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

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
Parent #5
I really like GLCM a lot and I have visited a number of daycares and feel I have grounds to judge. The staff and administration are really united in providing a caring environment. My young children are given a nice mix of freedom and structure.

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Make sand at home! Half the fun is creating, and half is playing with the material. Mix all listed ingredients together in a plastic bin, and then give your child small containers, shovels, funnels so that they can dump and fill. Toy cars and bulldozers are also a lot of fun.
