Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...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
Redirect child's attention from disruptive behavior to acceptable activity
*Talk it out
*Help the child put his/her thoughts into words
*Open communication with parents
*When needed, a 'time-in' or removal from the group for a short period of time.
Director's Response to a Sample Discipline Scenario
Description of how teachers handle the following scenario: Child A and Child B are good friends and usually play together. One day, Child A decides to play with Child C and tells Child B, 'I don't want to play with you today. I'm playing with Child C instead.'
Each child has the right to play with or without whom they wish. However, we do expect the child to be sensitive to the other child's feelings.
