We recognize that most inappropriate behavior can be avoided by providing an interesting, fun and challenging program in a well designed and structured environment.

Additionally, continual reward and praise for appropriate behaviors and choices is an
important and effective way of encouraging positive behavior.

When challenging behaviors do arise, teachers use redirection. Their next step if needed, is short term removal from activities to "reflect". One minute per year of age is appropriate for a child to be ready for discussion and resolution.

We encourage the child to understand how their behavior impacts others. For conflicts
between children, we encourage preventative communications by teaching children such statements as "I don’t like that" and "That is not OK". When words don’t work, children are encouraged to get help from teachers.
