Behaviour Management

Children seem to flourish best in an ordered environment in which everyone knows what is expected of them and where they are free to develop their play and learning without the fear of being hurt or hindered by anyone else. We aim to work towards an environment where children can develop self-esteem and an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement.
