Program Information
Guidance
:
At The Little School, guidance is always approached with a solid understanding a child's developmental abilities and needs, and with respect for each child's self-confidence and self-esteem. Teachers provide guidance that helps children learn to make their own decisions and control their own actions. At The Little School, discipline and guidance meet these important goals: keeping children safe; promoting children's sense of self; helping children to learn self-control. To accomplish these goals, we use a variety of approaches including prevention, positive redirection, modeling, setting limits, and problem solving. We help children recogize and process their feelings, recognize consequences, and explore alternative solutions.

At The Little School, children learn actively through play, social interaction and experimentation.
