UMA has a strict no-bullying policy. Our teachers are constantly role modeling kindness and respect to our students so they in turn will know how to treat others.  If children have a problem, a teacher will coach them through how to solve it. We encourage communication like, “It made me feel ____, when you did ____” and then help the children find a mutual solution to their problem.  If any bullying occurs, teachers document the incident and follow up with the parents on how to best support their child in learning to be kind.
