I've decided to write letter to the director, not one of criticism,

creates confusion for the teachers, the parents and the children
because there is no uniformity and the parents are not 'partners' in
the child's experience. Any thoughts?

I would do it face to face, myself. A letter may really
put them on the defensive, which won't help anyone. If they are
NAEYC accredited, they are required to have their policies on
how to handle behavioral issues documented. Ask to see the
policy and have a discussion about whether it's being implemented
consistently. You might even find that the director is already
on board with the idea that some teachers aren't implementing
appropriate techniques in this area and you may be able to
work well with him or her to bring about some changes in your
child's classroom. If you don't get effective action promptly,
then follow up with a letter. If you get effective action, follow
up with a letter of thanks. (The accreditation teams review these
sorts of things, so they'll be appreciative of the letters. Well,
they might not be appreciative if you have to write a letter to
prod them into action, but hopefully it will at least get them
moving.)

Best wishes,
