Discipline Practice

Infants (birth to 12 months)
No direct discipline, too young.

Toddlers (12 to 36 months)
When a problem arises, we will patiently redirect the child to another activity and encourage the child to correct the behavior.

If however, the child continues to misbehave, the incident will be reported to the parent, assuring the safety of the child and their classmates.

Preschool/School age (3 years and older)
When a problem arises, we will patiently redirect the child in a positive tone to do right and encourage the child to correct their behavior.

If the misconduct is repeated, the incident will be reported to the parents to assure the safety of the child and their classmates.

* Committing an act that endangers themselves or other children in the facility, such as biting, fighting, destruction of property, using profane, obscene or abusive language, failure to fasten seat belts, dangerously abusing equipment or toys, etc, will result in the following response:

The Center Director will hold a conference with the parent. The child may be suspended or expelled from all Company facilities. If suspended and the misconduct is repeated, the child will be removed from the center.
