Discipline
Discovery School stresses a positive classroom atmosphere that:

• sets guidelines
  
• gives attentions to positive behaviors
  
• maintains high expectations for each child
  

It is Discovery School policy that no physical punishment be administered to a child in our care. Teachers encourage the development of self-control in children by using techniques such as redirection, modeling appropriate behavior, defining limitations and maintaining high expectations. Problem solving skills are taught, practiced and reinforced for conflict resolution. Staff are trained in Love and Logic guidance techniques.



Lunch/Snacks
Parents will provide the child's lunch and a non-staining drink (apple, milk, orange, pineapple, lemonade, etc.). Snacks will be brought by parents on a rotating basis within each classroom. Suggestions for nutritious snacks will be available from your child's teacher.



Rest Period
Toddlers, two and three year olds have a quiet rest period that varies in length according to age. Quiet music is played for easy relaxation. Mats are provided by the school.



Release/Emergency
Your telephone numbers are listed on your enrollment form for easy access. At the beginning of each school day you will note the number where you can be reached that day and also who will be picking up your child after school. We will release your child ONLY to the individuals authorized on the Parent Consent Form. For your child's protection we will ask for identification.
