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.
