- We believe parents and families are the most important people in a child’s life. They serve as the child’s advocate, teacher, and friend.
- We believe strong partnerships between families and those who teach, coach, or mentor their children are important to present and future educational and life successes.
- We believe children with disabilities should be included in living and learning environments with their non-disabled peers.
- We believe a child with a disability is first and foremost a child and that evidence-based, best practice learning principles apply to all children.
- We believe children learn much from one another and every child can develop respect and appreciation for another’s uniqueness and individuality.
- We believe high quality early childhood programs help children to develop a strong foundation of skills, attitudes, and behaviors that will prepare them for future learning opportunities and life experiences.
