Children First: Community Child Care Network Society

Children First believes that children are citizens with rights and are entitled to opportunities that support their emotional, social, creative, cognitive, and physical growth and development in an environment that nurtures their development and helps them learn through play and routine caring rituals. Our Mission is: We provide circles of support for children and families, and our Vision is: Together with families, we put children first. Our Core Values are: Pursuit of Excellence, Intercultural Perspective, Relationships, Problem-Solving Philosophy for Children & Adults, Fiscal Accountability, and Life-Long Learning.

Children First aims to provide a safe, secure, home-like, and stimulating environment for children by supporting our educators and working in partnership with families to provide professional and high-quality care for the children entrusted to us. We will strive to make every child feel respected, valued, and capable. Based on a problem-solving, anti-bias approach, educators will provide play-based experiences that evoke wonder, elicit curiosity, and engage children's senses, recognizing that children seek to make sense of their world. Our intent is to provide high-quality, affordable, accessible, and inclusive care and support to families and children in our community.
