Education Station Preschool is a Positive Behavior Support Center (PBS)
HighScope Curriculum & Positive Behavior Support - Comprehensive Education in Lighthouse Point
We believe a preschool environment should foster and encourage a child’s creative, intellectual, emotional and social growth.
A disciplined program should be an integral part of the preschool program and should be designed with these same goals in mind.
Here at Education Station Preschool discipline is used as a means of redirecting a child’s misbehavior toward positive behavior. When discipline is necessary, it is used as a means of teaching a child to understand his or her behavior and to teach the child responsibility for that behavior. This is accomplished through discussion, providing the child with choices, involving the child in decision making, and or removal of the child from a situation.
Should a child’s behavior become a safety concern Education Station reserves the right to withdraw the student from the program. It requires patience, thoughtful attention, cooperation and a good understanding of the child.
