Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Discipline comes from the word "disciple" -- someone who follows the teachings of another. Discipline is intended to be a learning experience whereby children are helped to learn positive rules, appropriate ways to express needs and feelings, and respect for the care and safety of materials and people. We want children to develop their own inner controls by understanding limits and the results of their actions. We try to separate the "deed" from the "doer" so no child is made to feel ashamed, embarrassed or "bad." We emphasize and acknowledge the positive behaviors, social skills and work habits of all our students.
Food Allergies
- We do not allow certain foods in the classroom
- We keep special snacks for allergic children
- We ask parents to provide child-safe snacks for their allergic child
Medications
- Ordinarily, medicine will not be administered by the staff. The only exceptions to this policy will be in individual cases where a physician's prescription indicates that the medicine is necessary during school hours and the parents have signed a consent form in advance witht a doctor's written instructions on administration of such medication. We also need a doctor's note on file to administer inhalers. No aspirin or other non-prescription medicines will be administered by the staff.
