Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline

Our goal is to teach children positive ways to handle conflict. Children need to learn their potentials as well as their limits. Children are encouraged to use words to express their feelings, needs and wants. Our staff supervises closely to:

Try to prevent potential conflicts.
Observe any conflict situation and support both children when needed.
Redirect when needed

Children naturally want to please; it is only when they don't have the tools to effectively solve problems that they use negative measures. We believe in providing children the opportunity to exercise positive problem solving skills in a safe and secure environment. These early skills are very important to life long success.
