Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
There is no formal visitor sign-in/sign-out procedure though parents sign children in and out. All areas are locked and with an adult:child ratio of between 2:1 and 3:1 and secured areas and procedures it feels very safe.
Parent #2
There is a strong emphasis on empathy-building and conflicts are generally viewed as a learning opportunity.

The Coop rents space from an aging church, which is responsible for the facilities, and doesn't always maintain the building as well as you'd hope. Coop board seems to have to spend tuition money to maintain building and systems.
