balanced, “home-cooked” meals.  The meals are prepared in our center
and  consist of a morning snack, followed by a nutritious cooked lunch
with fruit, followed by an afternoon snack.  Milk or juice beverages
are provided with every meal and snack.

Q      How will you discipline my child?

A      Our approach to conflict resolution is to encourage negotiation andproblem solving.   A child is to be responsible for his or her own behavior, learning to have self-control as he or she interacts with others.  We ensure health and safety, encourage respect for others, and respect for property.  When in appropriate behavior occurs, it is corrected through explanation, redirection and diversionary techniques.  We strive to encourage appropriate behavior through positive reinforcement.  Discipline is carried out in a positive non-threatening manner that is appropriate to the child’s level of development. Spanking and other forms of corporal punishment are not permitted under any circumstances!
