Discipline

OVERALL RATING (4.3)

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

Discipline is:
1. Individualized and consistent for each child.
2. Appropriate to the child's level of understanding &
3. Directed towards teaching the child the acceptable behavior and self control.
(We abide by the Texas Administrative Code of discipline, Title 40, Chapters 746 & 747, Subchapters L, Discipline and Guidance)

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.'


We would lead them in their conversation by showing them the proper way to talk to their friends. We would lead them by teaching them that they are all friends and can play together.

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parent #1
My child loves his school. The walls and classes are painted so cute! It is a very inviting atmosphere and you can tell the children are so loved and taken care of.

Parent #2
On some occassions, kids who are having a melt-down have to leave the room and sit with the coordinator at her desk (sigh, this has even been my child before). I love this because it removes the child from the situation that has caused grief and allows him or her to calm down and assess the situation and talk about it before re-entering the room. They also use the 'time out' method as well as talking to the kids and helping them learn empathy.

Parent #3
I have not witnessed the handling of conflicts between children, but knowing the staff at CCC, I am certain they are handled fairly. I am not sure about all the classroom equipment that is used or available. The rooms are kept tidy and uncluttered.

Parent #4
I don't know if they leaqve the classroom or not, but they do have music time and Spanish class.

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

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!
