Conscious Discipline
As your child embarks on a treasured journey of growth and learning with us, there are a few things we'd like you know: Our goal is to thoroughly meet all of your child's needs, from daily care to academic learning to social-emotional growth. We believe that all people, including young children, learn more, produce more, show more compassion and feel better about themselves when they are in an environment that is caring, connected and safe. For these reasons, we using components of a program called Conscious Discipline. This wonderful program is based on safety, connection and problem solving.
- SAFETY: Research shows that the brain functions optimally when we feel safe. Our staff members are your child's Safekeepers and our first priority is to keep your children physically and emotionally safe. Children will learn how to use active calming techniques and utilized a classroom center called a "Safe Place."
- CONNECTIONS: Research shows that our connections with other people develop neural connections inside our brain. These connections are essential to learning. We develop these connections by building a compassionate group of learners called a "School Family."
- PROBLEM SOLVING: When we feel both safe and connected, the brain is able to devote all of its energy to learning and solving problems. Our goals is always to create a safe and connected environment first because we know this enables children to thrive, whether they're learning social-emotional skills, learning kindergarten readiness skills and other important life skills.
