Discipline

At Primrose schools, prevention and positive guidance are the primary methods of managing behavior. Primrose Schools does not allow physical abuse, humiliation, bribery, verbal intimidation, or threatening attitudes toward children in our schools. By using encouragement, positive reinforcement, redirection, providing children choices, talking about conflicts and allowing children to verbalize their frustrations, teachers provide children the opportunity to cope with their feelings in a positive way and develop self-control. 

Primrose Schools strictly prohibits these behaviors: 

• Spanking or other corporal punishment

• Subjecting children to cruel or severe punishment, such as humiliation, verbal or physical abuse, neglect, or abusive treatment, including any type of physical hitting inflicted in any manner upon the body, shaking, threats or derogatory remarks

• Depriving children of outdoor time, meals, or snacks; force feeding children or otherwise making them eat against their will; or using food in any way as a consequence for behavior

• Disciplining a child for soiling, wetting, or not using the toilet; forcing a child to remain in soiled clothing or to remain on the toilet; or using any other unusual or excessive practices for toileting

• Confining a child to a swing, high chair, crib, playpen, or any other piece of equipment for extended periods of time in lieu of supervision
