Here is the info on discipline straight off the website: The PSRC Early Childhood program follows the positive discipline practices established by North Carolinas Division of Child Development. Praise and positive comments are good ways to manage behavior of children. When children receive positive comments, they develop good self-concepts, they learn to solve problems, and they develop values. Therefore, the discipline practices do not allow: « spanking (corporal punishment), « shaking, « shoving, « threatening, « yelling, « locking the child in a closet, corner, room, etc. « denying child food or rest, or « children to hit, kick, or bite another child. To promote positive behavior, the teachers will use the following guidance procedures: « praising, rewarding, and encouraging children; « modeling appropriate behavior; « treating children with respect; « using short supervised periods of time-out; and « being consistent in behavior management.
