What is your discipline philosophy?
GTG Preschool emphasizes developmentally appropriate positive guidance and discipline. Developmentally appropriate discipline focuses on age, individual, and cultural appropriateness. Discipline is administered in a loving and consistent manner in order to encourage self-control, respect for others, and self-confidence. To help children adjust to this process, the following guidelines are set at GTG:

  • Children are always treated with respect
  • Children will assist in developing simple and concise rules and limits
  • No child will be subject to physical punishment, corporal punishment, verbal abuse or threats
  • No child will be deprived of meals or snacks or any part thereof for disciplinary reasons
  • No child will be deprived of outdoor time or rest as means of punishment

Any form of punishment that violates the spirit of these standards of discipline, even though it may not be specifically mentioned as forbidden, is prohibited.
