Program Values

The Development of the Child
We believe children:

• Are unique individuals who are experiencing the world through their own socially constructed context
• Are hungry for rich learning experiences that help them better understand the world around them
• Have voices that are worth hearing and actively listened to
• Need and deserve to be loved deeply, guided positively, treated respectfully, and challenged appropriately to become lifelong learners and productive contributors to their communities.

 
The Development of the Family
We believe families:

• Know their children best and serve as their first and most important teacher
• Are their child’s most important advocate
  • And as such, are deserving of the upmost respect and are a valued stakeholder in the success of the child’s school and life experiences
• Create the social and emotional foundation for which their child will build walls upon
  • This is a foundation made of safety, love, culture, language, personal history, resiliency, and relationships with others
• Should have access to resources to better their lives individually and as a unit
• All families equally deserving of respect and representation in the program.

 
The Development of the Educator
We believe educators:

• Learn alongside children and act as guides, providing opportunities for meaningful experiences
• Are to be revered in their communities
• Are infinitely capable of bettering their craft and honing their skills as facilitators for young learning and family partnership
• Have a right to equal learning opportunities, equitable access to resources,
• Are deserving of respect, dignity, trust, and acceptance no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation, or physical and mental abilities.
