Disciplinary Measures

9.5. Preschool Level: Social-Emotional Education & Restrictions on the Application of Disciplinary Measures

In preschool, the alteration of healthy community life between children, as well as between a preschool child and a member of the educational community, requires an analysis of the developmental stage of those involved in order to implement educational strategies.

Therefore, it’s essential that parents support the protective, preventative, and formative strategies implemented by Nido de Águilas on occasions where what can be perceived as problematic behavior is actually addressed as an opportunity in favor of education and development of life skills of all our students.

At this stage,we should consider that students who exhibit problematic behavior are learning social-emotional skills and social tools that mediate their relationship with others.

Pedagogical and/or psychosocial support measures during this stage are aimed at promoting the learning of peaceful conflict resolution, which involves learning to share, play and relate with the social and cultural environment and promote student self-regulation.

In the case of students who exhibit aggressive behaviors that affect the safety and well-being of others, the situation is addressed in an integrated and collaborative manner between parents/guardian, teachers, administration, and external professionals, in search of strategies that favor the student's development as well as a healthy school community life, to ensure the safety of the student and other members of the community.
