Discipline

OVERALL RATING (3.5)

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

Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline

As long as they make right classes they are invited to participate in the group. If they make wrong choices, the teacher will address them with the child. Time-outs are used occasionally. Extreme cases are handled with a parent conference.

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parent #1
One of the things I loved about this school is that only nutritious food is allowed. If you send junk food, they will not allow the child to eat it, instead giving them healthy alternatives. We are trying to teach our children healthy eating habits and appreciate the school doing the same.

Parent #2
The classroom stinks so much that had to give bath to my son immediately after coming from school,put all his clothes to wash everyday!About nutricious snack,it is there to make an impression!It is not cleaned.There is absolutely no pilicy of washing hands when needed.

Parent #3

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.

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!
