Self discipline is the goal at MCCS with the understanding that children learn more and behave best through positive reinforcement, praise and encouragement. As children mature they normally develop increased self-control and self-discipline. The child’s self-esteem and personal dignity is protected while the focus is directed on the desired behavior. Corporal punishment is not used by the MCCS staff or administration. See our Discipline and Behavior Management Policy for additional information and details.
