Preschool Parents,
Our classroom management is based on the principles of the PBIS® framework. PBIS is a system used by schools to help prevent problem behaviors by teaching students specific expectations for all settings within the school. PBIS provides for a common language that can be used by all staff members and students. Clear classroom expectations and support are put into place to help all students be successful with both their learning and their behavior. The program is very structured and the students know the expectations for all settings. We support a majority of the effective practices tied to the PBIS framework with Conscious Discipline.

Conscious Discipline is a trauma informed,self-regulation program that will support our PBIS framework. Conscious Discipline uses brain based research to transform the way we view and respond to behavior as adults and how we teach children to manage their own. It will support in teaching social-emotional and life skills to children. More information on both PBIS and Conscious Discipline will be presented as parent events. Please visit https://consciousdiscipline.com/ to learn more.
Conscious Discipline empowers us to be conscious of brain-body states in ourselves and children. It then provides us with the practical skills we need to manage our thoughts, feelings and actions.
With this ability to self-regulate, we are then able to teach children to do the same. By doing this, we help children who are physically aggressive (survival state) or verbally aggressive (emotional state) become more integrated so they can learn and use problem-solving skills (executive state). When we understand the brain state model, we can clearly see the importance of building our homes, schools and businesses on the core principles of safety, connection and problem-solving.
