Discipline philosophy

DISCIPLINE PHILOSOPHY 

 We believe the most effective ways of encouraging positive behaviors are through; Praise, Respect, Re-Direction, and Positive re-enforcement. We try to get children involved in their own problem solving.

During conflict it is important for children to feel respected, secure, loved, important and special. They need to know we are always available to listen and help, not to judge.

Our goal is to coach the children so they can negotiate compromise, brainstorm and work it out together. We will only place a child in time out if we feel that they are a threat to the safety and well-being of themselves or others. When this becomes necessary we make sure everyone is all right, and then we stay with the child.

Our Philosophy is that you use discipline to teach a child. We achieve this through love, consistency, and firmness. The children are explained the rules of the daycare home frequently so that all know the guidelines.

Once a child understands the rules and disobeys them, Redirection – Time Out – Removal of Privilege – Last Resort – will be used. When a child’s behavior is continually upsetting or dangerous to himself or others, a Conference will be called with the parents.

When the child’s behavior is beyond our disciplinary objective, a report will be sent to you to help bring him/her round to cooperate with our regulations. If the problems cannot be resolved, arrangements will have to be made for the child to go elsewhere for care.

Our Curriculum
Integrated

Young children learn best when they can make connections across many disciplines. All our subjects are integrated throughout our curriculum.

Focus on Literacy

Children with large vocabularies who exhibit phonological and phonemic awareness skills are more likely to become literate. We develop these skills and apply them to phonics, concepts of print, comprehension and writing, laying the foundation for long-term achievement.

Focused on Math

We integrate and emphasize math skills and concepts. Direct instruction, center exploration, games and activities provide a practical approach to applied math that children encounter in everyday life.

Systematic, Spiraled & Scaffolded trips

Children retain new information when it connects with previous knowledge and experiences. New information is presented in a logical and linear fashion. Thereafter, children move from simple concepts to advanced understanding through a continuum where skills and concepts are reviewed, revisited and expanded.

Standards-Based place

Our curriculum establishes clear and developmentally appropriate goals for children’s learning based on our local and international programs.
