Our Core Values

Collective
Impact
We utilize a two generation, place based, approach to provide early learning opportunities that impact not just the child we have in front of us today, but subsequent generations.

Data Driven
We strive to encourage and support the leadership development of people of color for cross sector positions within the Early Childhood Education system to ensure a ready pipeline of future leaders of color.

Empowerment
We recognize parents as essential partners in their child's development and education process and will provide support and education needed to engage them as primary change agents for their children.

Cultural
Relevance
We believe that children develop and grow best in ways that are consistent with the cultural rhythms and patterns of their families and community.

Integrity
We do all of this because we care about the future of our children and our community.

Transparency
We invest resources in what works while putting student learning first and protecting the rights of the neediest children within our community.
