To create within all children a respect for others and self;
To support and encourage children in their natural curiosity about all things;
To facilitate children's creative needs and tendencies by providing tools and materials;
To listen as children share their experiences, ideas and opinions;
To model for children that adults other than parents can be loving and trustworthy;
To share the concept of God's plan for each of us in relation to our surroundings;
To guide children as they grow more aware of the world around them;
To provide experiences that will enhance readiness skills;
To foster decision-making processes by providing choices, asking thought provoking questions and evaluating options;
And last, but not least, to be a mommy or daddy away from home-to wipe noses, to give hugs, to bandage skinned knees and to repair broken hearts!
