Discipline:
Child development includes learning self-discipline, which is better learned through guidance than through punishment. Island Time Preschool will follow Positive Guidance Techniques throughout the day.
Protect and preserve children’s feelings of being lovable and capable.
Offer children choices only when willing to accept their decisions.
Work with “the grain” of children instead of against it.
Give children safe limits they can understand.
Set a good example!!
The quiet time will be used to interrupt unacceptable behavior by removing the child from the “scene of the action.” Quiet time is a calming device, not a punishment. The quiet time shall be short enough that the child has a chance to go back to the original situation and learn acceptable behavior.
