What is the SFLCs policy on discipline?
Our discipline philosophy is called Supportive Social Learning. Our staff strives to develop a positive relationship and rapport with each and every child, and if problems do occur, discipline is based on positive praise and reinforcement to build social skills and self-esteem. Each child will be recognized and treated as an individual, and staff are trained to recognize the role behavior plays in learning and development. Positive guidance, support and re-direction will be blended with consistent reinforcement and celebration of positive behavior and accomplishment. No form of corporal or harsh punishment is ever allowed, and discipline is not associated with rest, toileting or food. Separation, if ever used as discipline, is brief and appropriate for the childs age.
