Discipline Policy
A central objective at the CLC is to help children become as self-actuating as possible. Our teachers use situations that arise in the classroom to teach problem solving and appropriate behavior.
Children are encouraged to ask for what they need, express their feelings in an appropriate manner and to respect the feelings and needs of others.
Discipline implies punishment ñ which we don't do ñ guidance implies that you are going to guide the child toward more acceptable behaviours ñ which we do.
If a child is having difficulty controlling his/her behavior, he/she may be asked to use a time out chair until he/she is ready to interact cooperatively.
If we identify a pattern of behavior that is of concern, we approach the parents and try to find a mutually acceptable method of addressing the issue.
