Core Values | Early Childhood Education Partnerships

We believe:

our work is defined by the characteristics, uniqueness, needs and promise of the children and families we serve
with appropriate support and assistance, all children and families are learners
that identifying strengths as a starting point, and working toward potentials is a right of all children and adults
in building inclusive communities of child and adult learners
relationships are central to what we do
all people have the potential to be listeners in an atmosphere of communication, respect and trust
our environments mirror the values, attitude, cultures and teaching practices of the cultures within them
curriculum should be meaningful, relevant and integrated
that only together can we provide the best for children and families
our core values are non-negotiable

Reflections

"Whenever I enter the school, I feel at home because I see the love in everybody, the dedication to work, the truth and the team work."
Gifty, grateful Head Start parent

The reason I wanted my children to come here was because of the diversity. They have an appreciation for the needs of other children, healthy foods, art, gardening and the structure of the organization and building.
Stacey, Community Peer Program

I’m most proud of the children with their innocence, joy, and the comments they make.
Laura, Preschool Teacher
