How does WLCN handle discipline?
It is the philosophy of WLCN that many, if not most, discipline problems can be prevented by adequate supervision and appropriate planning. The staff and co-oping parent will work together to ensure, whenever possible, that undesirable behavior (teasing, grabbing, hitting, name-calling, etc.) is re-directed before a more serious problem occurs. Our goal is to provide a positive approach to discipline for each child. Discipline will be used to teach and guide, not punish the child. Teachers will always make it clear to a child that it is the childs behavior that is inappropriate, not the child themselves. Should unacceptable behavior continue over a period of time, the teacher would contact the parent to discuss a plan for modifying the behavior.
