Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
Health is taken seriously, with lots of handwashing encouraged. When children have a conflict, the teacher gets down and talks to both of them, looking for ways to help them work it out.

Parent #2
Snacks are provided by the helping parent in the classroom. Outside play toys are old, damaged, or difficult to use. Climbing structures are very difficult for young children to use (only offered are a vertical climbing wall and a rope tied to a tree)
