-
An atmosphere will be provided which stimulates:
* positive self-esteem

* respect for the rights of others
* willing participation in group and/or individual activities
-
We will create an environment conducive to:
* sharing with others

-
We will encourage the development of coordination through:

Discipline
-
A reward system is used to encourage appropriate behavior. Poor behavior will result in the following actions being taken:
1. Supervised time out
2. Note sent to the parents/guardians
3. Parents called at work/home.
-
1. The teaching staff will not use, nor permit any person to use, corporal punishment or any methods considered cruel, harsh, humiliating, frightening or unusual.
2. Children will not be subjected to abusive and/or profane language.
3. Punishment will not be associated with food, rest or restroom breaks.
Disclaimer
We do not accept students who are not independently potty trained. That means each student has to be able to go to the bathroom on their own without any help from staff.
