...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
Redirection - a few words to discourage behavior which hurts others, self or destroys property. With older kids, we often talk to the group about what happened and talk about ideas and words they could use instead.
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 help Child 'B' find another activity or friend to join with. We address how child 'A' could have been a bit more diplomatic (i.e., Id like to play with Child 'C' today, maybe we could play later). We would also help Child 'B' understand that sometimes we all want to play with just one other child and sometimes we can try to join in.
Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
Small but well-organized space.
Parent #2
none
Parent #3
No place was better for our children. The combination of expertise and fun is unmatched anywhere else. Now that we are on the very far side of preschool and have heard scores of people's preschool experiences, we continue to know how extraordinarily lucky we were to be at Kids Club.

The Giving Tree: An Appreciation
Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree is one of the many books that our generation has rediscovered upon becoming parents. It's ubiquitous -- found in every library, bookstore, and preschool classroom. And yet, rereading it again for the first time in thirty (or so) years can come as a bit

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
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!
