Listening with Respect
Our foundation is one of respect for all with a commitment to listen fully and learn from the diverse viewpoints. We are committed to a new definition of respect for children through attentive listening, and strive to model this in all our relationships.
People First
We place personal compassion, warmth, trust, and collaboration at the heart of our work. We believe children and parents are innately good and have the capacity to solve problems and thrive. We value work-life balance and rest.
Big Goals
We set ambitious goals to foster lasting change in the lives of individual families and communities to transform our society. We continually identify important questions, experiment and listen to find answers, and evaluate and document what we learn.
Growth Mindset
Honesty, openness, acceptance, and willingness to confront core issues are central to our daily work. We create safe spaces for introspection, vulnerability, questioning, and lasting learning.
Appreciation
We honor the rewarding and challenging work of parents, and the professional work of our colleagues and partners. Together, we will transform society.
