Frequently Asked Questions

• We use Learning Beyond which supports the comprehensive development of children, including social, emotional, cognitive, and physical domains, while also nurturing their creativity, curiosity, and love for learning.

• We use the Brightwheel app, an easy-to-use, trustworthy method for parents and teachers to communicate. It also allows us to share pictures of your child throughout the day and keep you informed about your child’s well-being.

• We redirect the behavior and use positive reinforcement. A verbal warning is given. Then children will be asked to “take a break”. We will document the behavior on a discipline form and call the parent if necessary.
