Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Our center uses redirection. Children will be redirected to do another activity. If they are hurting some one, we have time out. It is a minute per ther age. We discuss what it is that got them there and how we can do it better next time. Some children just need a look :) or a smile to let them know we are watching them. Praising works toward not having to discipline.
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.'
We would say to child a that it is ok to have more than one friend and that maybe we can let child b play too.
We would also have child a pick another friend to do something with.
Food Allergies
- We keep special snacks for allergic children
- We ask parents to provide child-safe snacks for their allergic child
