Sleep:

The Caterpillars still nap! If your child isn’t a big napper we will still need to rest during this time.  In this class the kids get their own mats ready to encourage self-help skills.

Discipline:

In the preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten classes the teachers use PBS (Positive Behavior Support). PBS focuses on intervention and coping skills which teaches children how to respond to a potential situation before it happens. The Turtle Technique, which uses PBS guidelines to teach coping skills, self-regulation and acceptable options, is also used. We encourage the children to use self-discipline. They are offered choices and opportunities to make decisions, knowing what the logical consequences will be. Rest periods will be used when a child is emotionally of physically out of control and needs time to calm down.
