Philosophy:
Discipline Policy
My philosophy is that you use discipline to teach a child. I achieve this through love, consistency, and firmness. I stress two main patterns of behavior: respect for other people and respect for property. The children are explained the rules of the child care home frequently, so they are all familiar with the guidelines.
Please keep in mind that there WILL be disagreements between children. Young children, especially, who are not adept at communication, have a hard time expressing their feelings. Sometimes they hit or throw toys, etc. Although teaching children appropriate behavior is what I will be doing, remember that this behavior is normal in most cases.
When a child is having a difficult time following direction or treating others or property with respect, developmentally appropriate guidance techniques will be utilized. These techniques include Positive Reinforcement, Active Listening, Forestalling, Redirection and Calm Down Time.
Children are never punished for lapses in toilet training or for accidents (spilled milk, for example). In the case of the latter, I will have the child help me clean up, if possible, not for punishment, but to help teach responsibility.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will there be any spanking, physical abuse, verbal abuse, name calling or isolation used. Neither food nor sleep will ever be withheld from children as a means of punishment.
Children are served snacks* on a regular basis, provided opportunities for active play and quiet play, and given individual attention. I have found that many problems can be avoided through this proactive approach.
(*Snacks are provided free of charge.)
