DISCIPLINE AND BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT POLICY
Praise and positive reinforcement are effective methods of the behavior management of children. When children receive positive, non-violent, and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem solving abilities, and self-discipline. Based on this belief of how children learn and develop values, this facility will also practice the following discipline and behavior management policy:

“TIME OUT”
“Time-out” is the removal of a child for a short period of time (3 to 5 minutes) from a situation in which the child is misbehaving and has not responded to other behavior management techniques. The “timeout” space, usually a chair, is located away from classroom activity but within the teacher’s sight or in the administrative office. During “time-out,” the child has a chance to think about the misbehavior which led to his/her removal from the group. After a brief interval of no more than 5 minutes, the teacher discusses the incident and appropriate behavior with the child. When the child returns to the group, the incident is over and the child is treated with the same affection and respect shown the other children.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT
We welcome and encourage parent involvement in daily activities. If you have a skill or activity you would like to share with the children we would love you to share it with us. It may be something as simple as sharing a good book or song, or a larger activity like a field trip. If you would like to plan something please let us know in advance so that we may schedule it.
We will, on special occasions, have school activities when all family members will be invited. This is an opportunity for us all to get to know each other better. When we do have a family activity, we ask that everyone make his or her best effort to attend.
