Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
We redirect at the Sunshine School. Since we have a unique set up of 4 rooms off a center hall and the children have free choice among the activities in each room, if a child is misbehaving in one room, we will warn him/her and then redirect him/her to another room. They can return when they remember the way to behave in that particular room. We prefer to remove children from situations causing a problem.
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 remind children about hurt feelings and that at the Sunshine School we're all friends and can all play together. If Child A still continues to refuse to play, we may try to get Child B to engage with someone else. Each situation is handled based on the needs of the children involved.
Food Allergies
- We do not allow certain foods in the classroom
- We keep special snacks for allergic children
- We ask parents to provide child-safe snacks for their allergic child
Medications
- We keep their medication on hand at all times

The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

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!
