Conscious Discipline

Social Emotional Learning

Our approach integrates Conscious Discipline, a trauma-informed social-emotional learning framework. This helps children develop self-regulation skills and fosters a strong sense of community within the classroom. By focusing on safety, connection, and problem-solving, children learn to navigate emotions in a supportive environment.

How we Incorporate Conscious Discipline in the Classroom

  • Buddies and Wishing Wells encourage emotional expression and empathy. Conflict-resolution skills and empathy-based jobs teach respectful communication and responsibility.

  • Strengthening teacher-child relationships through empathy, active listening, and consistent routines.
