Philosophy and Discipline Policy: We will treat each child with respect and affection. We will model the behavior we want to see in the children, and set a good example. We will set boundaries that are reasonable, clearly stated , and consistently followed. We will look for opportunities to praise and encourage good behavior, while attempting to redirect children before a problem occurs.

Our goal is to help each child develop as a happy, respectful, and well-adjusted individual, who can control their own behavior, and take responsibility for their own actions. We want to support them in work and play, sharing and caring for each other, solving problems, and handling their emotions and frustrations in an acceptable manner. We believe every child is capable of this love and respect for each other, and for the world around them.
