Discipline Plan

 

Our goal is to develop happy, well-adjusted children who can control their own behavior and take responsibility for their actions. We want to develop children's ability to play and work cooperatively with others, promote independence in solving problems and help them to handle their emotions and frustrations in an acceptable manner. We believe that using a positive approach to guiding children can achieve that goal.

We will attempt to reduce the chance that discipline problems will occur by:

  1. Planning the children's environment and their routines with their needs in mind, taking into consideration what is realistic and appropriate for their age and developmental levels.
  2. Treating each child with respect and affection.
  3. Setting boundaries for the children that are reasonable clearly stated and consistently followed.
  4. Taking care to model the behaviors we want to see in children to set a good example.
  5. Looking for opportunities to praise and encourage good behavior.
  6. Attempting to distract or redirect children before a problem may occur.

Sometimes even when steps are taken to prevent problems from occurring, situations will occur that requires our intervention. We will guide children using POSITIVE GUIDANCE techniques.
