Discipline:
We view discipline as careful, loving firm training in the direction we want the child to go. It is a process that takes time. We will try at all times to praise a child for behaving appropriately, as well as; speak softly, directly and respectfully to the child.
Child Pick Up:
On the registration form there is a space for parents to list the names of persons authorized to take the child from MDO. These people will be the only individuals allowed to take the child other than the parent. They will also be contacted in an emergency if the parents cannot be located.
