CDO Parent Handbook - Program Basics
 

Open-Door Policy

Parents are welcome to visit CDO at any time during the hours of operation. Parents may observe their child, the operation of CDO and the program activities without having to secure prior approval.

Questions or Concerns


Parents that have questions or concerns regarding their child or their child’s teacher are asked to contact the teacher directly. If further discussion is required, parents are welcome to visit with the CDO Director or the chairperson of the CDO Board.

Guidance Methods

CDO uses guidance and discipline techniques that are based on an understanding of individual needs and development while promoting self-discipline and acceptable behavior. The use of positive guidance methods help children learn self control without the loss of self esteem. Limits are clearly stated in positive terms. A variety of other methods for encouraging children’s cooperation are used. These include redirection, positive reinforcement and choices between acceptable behaviors.
