Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
We encourage the 'Fruits of the Spirit', love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfullness and self-control. We do have rules in each class, instead of 'Time out' we use the 'thinking spot' It is a lot more positive and helps the children to think about their choices instead of being punished everytime they make a wrong choice.
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 ask child A how it would make them feel if Child B said that to them? Also if child A wants to play with someone else, that is fine, because we are all friends, but we need to be kind with our words and not hurt people's feelings. If all three can play together, we would encourage that.
