Wilma's Little People's School

We believe that young children should have a relaxed and nurturing environment that is developmentally structured to meet their needs. That should include carefully planned experiences in the following areas:
Discipline
We believe that discipline for young children should be developmentally appropriate. No corporal punishment is ever used. No treatment or words are ever used which would lower childrens dignity or interfere with the development of healthy self-concepts.
The younger children are disciplined by removal from a negative situation (by distracting them or by physically moving them to another area). All older children are reasoned with and given instructions in a simple and effective way. Frankly discipline is seldom a problem at Wilmas Little People School.
Enrollment Policy
Your child is expected to attend for the entire school year (September May) for which he or she is enrolled. It is possible to increase the days per week but not to decrease them. This assures that we have a known minimum budget for operating expenses.
Traffic Safety

Please hold your childs hand at ALL TIMES while in the parking lot. Despite our best efforts the occasional car will speed through. We must remain alert to any possible hazard.
Illness
We know that you do not send your child to school with a fever or contagious condition. If he or she becomes ill after reaching school we will see that he/she is as comfortable as possible while we call emergency numbers you provided so you may take him/her home.
Snacks
We will provide our nutritious snacks which do not include sugar salts or dyes. (This includes the type of refreshments for children parents and teachers at functions such as school parties.) Please see that you child does not bring candy chewing gum etc. to school.
Sharing
We are pleased for you child to share his/her favorite things at school. However we do not feel aggressive play that results from the use of war type toys is productive. If you child has these toys we ask that you not permit him/her to bring them to school.
Also we do not feel that a child needs to bring something to share each day. We will often ask the children to bring specific things related to the unit theme being studied or we will assign them special days to share.
