At A Mothers Love we believe that discipline is necessary for the welfare of the child as well as for the entire childcare. Discipline is a means of teaching and instilling in each a sense of right and wrong. Developing character traits that we feel are consistent with the child’s ongoing growth objective.

It’s our desire to give the child, every child a chance to grow to be responsible and self-directing. We do not expect perfection from any child, and we try to deal with problems by letting the child develop his/her own reasoning power and experience satisfaction in his/her own decisions. Consequently, disciple is maintained, which is firm and consistent, yet tempered with kindness, love and genuine regard for the child. A positive approach finds what is good rather than concentrating on what is not.

Conferences will be scheduled with parents if particular disciplinary problems occur. If a child’s behavior consistently endangers the safety of the staff as well as children around him/her, then the Director has the right, after meeting with the parents and documenting behavior problems and interventions, to terminate child care services for that particular child.

Note: If, at any point, there is an indication/suspicion that a child may have special needs, A Mothers Love will inform the child’s family for assessment and assistance.
