• Daily attendance sheets
• Weekly lunch & snack menus
• Notices of upcoming events
• Highlights of the children’s day
• Message notebook
• Basket for notes & forms for the director

Discipline

We try to stress two main patterns of behavior:

• Respect for other people.
• Respect for property.

As a result, we don’t allow children to hit or shove other children or verbally abuse them.

Our understanding of discipline is “Mostly what we do to encourage good behavior”.

In our day care we feel it is very important to have an environment that is comfortable and conductive to learn for all children. To provide this opportunity for all children in day care, we set limits for children. The children who are hurtful in an appropriate manner will be redirected a more appropriate manner, by talking to them, advise them and proper encouragement.

We try to build the right relationship with a child more than using right techniques.
