• At Fairwood Explorer, we focus on being “Safe, Respectful and Responsible”. Staff and parents use Positive Discipline to provide a methodology for teaching specific strategies that support these expectations.

    Principles of Positive Discipline

    We embrace the five key principles of Positive Discipline. We believe discipline should
    • Be kind but firm.
    • Focus on belonging and significance.
    • Utilize tools that work long term.
    • Teach valuable social and life skills.
    • Develop children’s sense of capability.
    Positive Discipline strives to help children learn from mistakes in a way that doesn’t shame them. We teach them that feelings matter. We want to build compassionate, resilient children with great communication skills.
