...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

Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Discipline Policy. We strive to keep the children busy and interested with a variety of suitable activities each day. We are positive and sensitive to individuals and are determined to avoid stress and resolve conflict. We encourage children to verbalize and listen to each other, and we work to see that they understand the limits and expectations. This should prevent most problems before they even occur. When preventative measures fail, gentle verbal reminders and suggestions are offered. Children are taught specific skills for problem solving and conflict resolution. No one is ever allowed to slap, spank, or otherwise physically punish a child who is in our care. Our most severe disciplinary measure is a brief ?time apart? from the group followed by a teacher/child discussion. This is not considered punishment, but a way to provide safety for the group and security for an out-of-control child. (Excerpted from school website)
