WE BELIEVE
• We believe in children’s healthy
development, access to nutritious food, and a
safe, nurturing environment leading to their
future success.
• We believe when parents thrive, children
thrive. When our children are supported to
blossom, our society thrives because children
are our future.
• We believe affordable child care supports
a parent’s employment and education goals,
leading to economic mobility.
• We believe in empowering parents to make
their own decisions that reflect the diversity
of individual family needs.
• We believe in connecting families to services
so families have resources to nurture their
children and reach family goals.
• We believe in a whole-family approach of
protective factors to reduce risk to families
and actively enhance family well-being.
• We believe in the important work of child
care providers and supporting them with
nutrition education, financial supports,
and resources.
• We believe in advocating at the local, state
and national level for the needs of children,
families, and child care providers.
• We believe we are in this together and
collaborating with our community for equity
and justice for all.
