Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Positive reenforcement (stamps, sticker, praise). We use time out - 1 minuter per year of age. We talk about choices why we have rules. We do not make children apologize but what can you do to make your friend or teacher feel better. Welcome them back with hugs and love.
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.'
Teacher would tell Child A that we are all friend together in our class, let's find ways to play together. 'God doesn't smile down on that' so let's be kind to all our friends. You can also choose who you play with so redirecting Child B. It depends on the situation and the child.
