Our Teaching Team Takes a
Positive Approach

Children who possess social-emotional skills become caring, connected, confident contributors in the world. As a positive discipline preschool, we focuses on encouragement, mutual respect, cooperation, and problem-solving, not punishment. Positive discipline is a kind but firm values-based approach that instills a sense of belonging and significance. Each child knows they are valuable and valued, capable and responsible, providing them with

a solid and secure foundation.

​

At Bella Birch, and as certified Positive Discipline educators, we embrace the concepts to help children become aware of, identify, and work through big feelings. By providing a safe space for children to express and feel what they're feeling, we enable them to realize that all emotions are acceptable and that their feelings provide essential information. This feeling-thinking-deciding process allows children to self-soothe rather than act out. When a child can regulate their emotions, they can make better choices.

​

Positive discipline plants the seeds for good character, open communication, collaboration, and a better understanding of self and others. Children who experience positive discipline are more confident,

capable, and emotionally self-aware.
