There is a P.E. teacher and all classes attend P.E. in the gym each day.

Discipline

OVERALL RATING (5.0)
Parents' Opinions
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

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The school was recently remodeled, and the classrooms are large and very kid-friendly. There is an indoor gym for rainy days (they have 'PE' every day as well), and 2 large play scapes outside (one for younger kids, one for older). They also have a large paved area for playing ball and riding the large tricycles.

Parent #2
The staff do not neccessarily screen each parent that comes through the front door. The parents sign in and out each day in a book in the front lobby. They do identify and ask to see ID for people they are not familiar with. I do feel that my child is safe and the staff are very aware of who is in the facility.
