Our Approach to Guidance & Discipline
Gentle Guidance
Emotional Regulation
Co-Regulation
Turn-Taking
Natural Consequences
No Physical Punishment
At Tannie Net's Daycare, we focus on teaching rather than punishing. Young children are still learning how to manage emotions, solve problems and navigate social situations. Our role is to guide, support and model appropriate behaviour in a calm and respectful way.
Photography & Privacy
Protecting Children's Privacy
The safety and privacy of our children are important to us.
​
We do not publicly identify children by name in photographs and do not use any images containing children for marketing purposes.
​​
Many photographs used on our website focus on activities, learning environments and hands rather than children's faces.
