Students and Families First

We foster an environment in which children feel safe, physically, and emotionally, and in which they feel they can be themselves.  We treat children and families ethically and with respect. We place the needs and interests of the children and families we serve at the center of all our decision-making.

Community

We strive to foster a community that promotes caring, meaningful relationships, fosters a sense of belonging, and encourages children to achieve academically and reach their greatest potential.

 Saving and Changing Student Lives

The lives of the children we serve matter, and we believe that all things are possible for them with the right guidance, encouragement, and support from caring adults. We understand that our role in providing safety and opportunity for children in Edgewood has never been more vital.

 Trust 

The relationships we build with children and families, and the trust that we earn in the process, are critical to our ability to advance our mission. Our commitment to consistency and reliability must be sustained over time for us to earn and maintain trust.  We fully embrace our responsibility to be reliable to the children and families we serve, and to one another.

 Flexibility

We meet children and families where they are, at their individual points of need. We solve problems in ways which are tailored to the specific circumstances of the children and families involved.
