Discipline/Positive Behavior Guidance
Behavior is managed in a positive manner according to the child's age. Teachers use guidance techniques to direct children's behavior. Physical punishment or verbal abuse by an adult, including parents, is not allowed on center property.Our goal of discipline is to help children learn an inner control over their own behavior. This is best done by helping children express emotions using words, rather than physical force.
Teachers create a positive environment for children by having clear and consistent rules. Teachers encourage positive behavior by doing the following:
- Redirecting children to another area of the classroom when their behavior is inappropriate
- Encouraging and reinforcing specific positive behaviors by children.
