The primary goal of discipline at the Center is to help the child develop self-control and assume responsibility for his/her actions. It is crucial to this effort that parents and staff maintain an on-going dialogue about all aspects of the child’s development and behavior.
Positive reinforcement and redirection are two important tools to be utilized in encouraging acceptable behaviors. Negative behaviors will be handled in a developmentally appropriate manner. Neither corporal punishment nor verbal abuse is tolerated in the Center. Respect for children is central to our discipline philosophy.
Parents will be kept aware on an on-going basis of unusual behaviors or behavior patterns (both positive and negative) that develop and, as warranted, conferences shall be scheduled. Parents are encouraged to bring any questions or concerns that they have to staff’s attention.
