Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (4.1) |
|
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
Children are re-directed, and a teacher helps them to help problem solve. There are no time outs. A lot of positive reinforcements are given, and the child is always supported.
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.'
Depending on the situation and how well Child B reacts, the teacher will further intervene and ask Child A if you could let Child B know that you are still friends and will play with him later.
