Core Values

Relationships

Building relationships with the children, families, educators, and within our community is truly the foundation of our program. We build our relationships with the children in our program each and every day by documenting their learning, enjoyment and experiences and by fostering their developing skills to become caring and responsible citizens. We recognize that parents are the experts of their children, therefore we value the partnership we create with our families and any input they have regarding their development. We view our Educators as researchers as they listen, observe, reflect and record children’s play. We believe in creating and maintaining partnerships within our community and we are committed to ensuring these relationships are respectful, nurturing, caring, honest , and equitable for all.
