Discipline
We believe in positive discipline and proactive guidance. By creating a structured environment and using techniques such as distraction, redirection, and natural consequences, we aim to minimize the need for negative discipline. While all classrooms follow the same overall philosophy, specific approaches and classroom rules may vary based on age and developmental appropriateness. Physical punishment is never used.
If a child consistently and intentionally disobeys classroom rules or disrupts the learning environment, they may be removed from the classroom and taken to the office. Parents will be informed when disciplinary actions extend beyond typical classroom management.
If a child receives three consecutive disciplinary actions for similar behaviors (such as repeated disobedience, aggression, or causing harm to another child), a parent or guardian will be contacted and asked to pick up their child.
Should concerning behaviors continue, a conference will be scheduled with the parents, teacher, and director to discuss next steps and determine appropriate solutions. In cases where behaviors persist and pose a disruption or safety concern, withdrawal from the program may be considered.
