Discipline Policy
At Hope Lutheran Preschool we think of the term “discipline” as the teaching of self-control, Christian attitudes, orderliness, and efficiency. All discipline will be completed in a loving and caring manner with forgiveness rather than punishment as a goal.
Through direct, caring communication with the child, the teacher will explain the expectation of appropriate behavior and coach the child in some alternate behaviors or strategies.
The parent will be contacted regarding prolonged inappropriate behavior that hurts or destroys. A visit with the principal may follow behavior that harms or destroys.
Summer Preschool
Summer Preschool is a program that runs for 8 weeks during the month of June and July. Each spring interest surveys are sent home that determine the availability of the program.
