Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Teachers discuss FasTracKids rules and through positive reinforcement and encouragement, they make sure children are respectful of each other and their surroundings. Most importantly, teachers are trained to model positive behaviors. We do not use time-outs. If a child is tired or upset, he/she is temporarily removed from the situation and the teacher or teacher's assistant spends time with him/her, talks to the child, finds out what the problem is and makes him/her comfortable.
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.'
Since we see children only once a week, such situations arise very rarely. If they do, we reiterate our rules of showing respect for every child and using only kind words.

We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
