Our Philosophy of Discipline

At Hillcrest Kids, we use Love & Logic as a discipline model.  We believe that discipline should be remedial rather than punitive. It is based on an understanding of the individual child's needs and stage of development. We pray with kids and ask Jesus to help them make wise choices and practice self-control. Discipline includes redirection, natural consequences, brief "time out", loss of privileges, longer "time outs" and if needed, an office visit, parent consultation or removal from the program for a period of time.  

Corporal punishment and humiliation or frightening punishment shall not be administered.

Hillcrest Kids staff are required by Washington State Law (RCW 26.44.030) to report suspected incidents of abuse and neglect.
