We commit to embodying relationship-based and strengths-based approaches and demonstrate cultural responsiveness and cultural awareness as a baseline for every interaction with each other and with the families and community we serve.

We prioritize the ongoing learning, growth, and reflection that are needed to sustain these values every day.
