The goals of child guidance are to assist children in developing self-control and help them learn to engage in socially acceptable behaviors.

Consistent Discipline

Adults will model, coach and encourage ways to discipline children that are fair, consistent and respectful of children and their needs.

We never use corporal punishment or harsh, unkind language.

Clear Rules

Simple and understandable rules are established at the beginning of the year with input from children when possible. What we expect from children – and what the limits of their behavior should be – are clearly defined.  Rules are stated so that children hear what we want them to do rather than what not to do – for example “Walking feet” rather than “Don’t run!”
