Using appropriate methods of discipline that incorporate behavior management enables the young child to learn self-control and gain an understanding of the types of conduct that are acceptable.
Children become more independent and self-sufficient when they take responsibility for their own behaviors.
Self-discipline, learned during the early childhood years, is necessary in order to become a productive member of our society.
It is our goal that all students possess a clear understanding of their behavior that affect others. When a child acts in a thoughtless or harmful way, the community suffers. When misbehavior occurs, our approach will emphasize

· consistency and
· responsibility.
