First Offense:
A verbal warning is given, with an explanation of the offense.
Second Offense:
"Time Out" in the classroom under direct teacher supervision. Teacher will multiply one minute times the age of the child ( a 4-year-old will sit in "time out" for 4 minutes)
Third Offense:
The teacher will call the administrator to the room to discuss with the child the offense for which he/she is being reprimanded.
Fourth Offense:
Parent will be contacted for a conference, with the approval of the administrator. The owner, administrator, teacher, and parents will discuss a solution to the particular offense.

- We model appropriate behavior; we praise, reward, and encourage the children.
