Discipline shall consist of guidance in the form of helping children change undesirable behavior into more acceptable, satisfying behavior. When disciplinary actions are necessary, we will use the following techniques: Talking to the child to find out why they are displaying negative behavior. Offering positive solutions to the problem causing the negative behavior. If the negative behavior continues, the child will be redirected to a different activity or play group. Parents will be notified of the negative behavior either verbally or in a written note or if the behavior is serious, the parent will be called. On rare occasions, parents may be required to take their child home for the day. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IS NEVER APPROPRIATE AND NEVER USED.
