DISCIPLINE POLICY The CDC encourages children to become responsible, caring individuals through the development of self-control and respect for the rights of others. Positive disciplinary techniques such as redirection, positive verbal reinforcement, choices and temporarily removing children from stressful situations are employed. Each classroom has a "time-out" area that allows a child the time and space needed to gain control of their emotions and reflect upon their behavior.
