DISCIPLINE
Positive Discipline
TLPCDC employees use a positive and consistent approach to problem solving in the classroom. Discipline is developmentally appropriate and promotes positive problem solving among the students. Our approach at TLPCDC is to truly apply positive discipline that directly relates to teaching positive alternatives. Children may be removed from a group activity when acting inappropriately. However, these children will be under the supervision of a staff member at all times. If a child is removed from the group activity, it will be for a reasonable and appropriate period of time. This is usually defined as one minute for each year of the child's age.
At the LPCDC a child will never be physically or corporally punished by a member of our staff. When using discipline with a child the staff member will use appropriate language and tone. Any employee not abiding by the center's positive discipline policy will be terminated immediately.
