Core Values
Life Long Learning
We believe that we all share a responsibility to support
and nurture the children’s and our own natural desire to be lifelong learners. We put ourselves and our learning on the same level as the child’s, and commit ourselves to our own professional and personal growth. As we learn alongside the children and their families, we embrace the opportunity to learn and grow that each day, each activity and each situation presents for us.
Relationships
Relationships are the foundation on which the organization operates. We believe the quality of the care we provide is measured by the quality of the relationships we have with the children, families, employees, suppliers, funders, legislators and our environments. We are committed to ensuring these relationships are respectful; warm and caring; honest and open; and fair and equitable.
The Pursuit of Excellence
In our efforts to continuously improve, we are dynamic.
We have the courage to lead; the willingness to take
appropriate risk; and the strength to be creative. We are
accepting of change that strengthens and improves us.
Fiscal and Corporate Accountability
We are committed to financial prudence and stability – to making decisions that take into account and are based on the short, medium and long term goals and objectives of the corporation. We conduct ourselves and our business in a manner that is legal, moral and ethical. |

Communication
We are committed to conversations that are openly
cooperative and collaborative. We welcome all
perspectives; we value and respect all points of view. We give and receive information and feedback in a timely manner. We expect the same from others.
A Sense of Well Being
There is joy and hopefulness in the work we do and
the relationships we have with others. We care about
the whole
health of our people and understand that
optimal well being
includes not only the balance of
work and family life but also
ensuring that mental,
physical, emotional, environmental
and spiritual
health are maintained.
