Behavior Management Plan

Saint Anne Montessori School will use behavior management in a consistent, reasonable and appropriate way based on an understanding of the individual needs and development of a child and for protecting the group.

The goal in discipline is to assist the child in establishing an inner discipline. A child who needs to be corrected will be spoken to in a quiet but firm voice about the problem at hand. If the problem is physical in nature (hitting, pushing, fighting, etc.) the child will be removed from wherever he/she is and invited to sit in the reading corner or on a chair at the table, for a few minutes. He/she will be asked to observe the other children working well together. When the child is calm, he/she will be free to return to work.
