immediate concerns or needs parents/teachers may
have.

often is it used? We have the best Playground on

Does the school take field trips? No, all
activities take place at school. We have puppet
shows, reptile shows, magicians, ice cream socials,
storytellers, Fire and Police visitation throughout
the year.
How is discipline handled? We strive to prevent
inappropriate behaviors which detract from
learning. Some of the methods we use are:
distraction, re-direction, behavior modeling, and
positive reinforcement of desirable behaviors.
Limits are always clear, consistent, age appropriate
and fair.
