No child will be subjected to any kind of physical or psychological punishment (such as spanking, sarcasm or derogatory remarks). Children are not punished nor intentionally embarrassed for bathroom accidents. These acts are not allowed by any staff member, visitor or parent while in the Center. Positive reinforcers, such as stickers, hugs and extra activities, are generally more effective and are used whenever possible.
Discipline and Behavior Management Policy
Praise and positive reinforcement are effective methods for the behavior management of children. When children receive positive, non-violent and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem solving abilities and self-discipline. Based on this belief of how children learn and develop values, the Center will practice the following discipline and behavior management policy listed on the right.
