Professional Staff Principles
Teamwork
We collaborate to achieve our goals and find ways to celebrate our successes. We take pride in what we do, never losing sight of the joy and fun in our work. We acknowledge each other’s contributions and say, “thank you.” We listen to the needs and concerns of our families and respond promptly with the best interests of our families at heart.
Honesty
Within our Jump Start family we create an environment of honesty and trust by communicating openly and authentically with one another and respecting the opinions of those with whom we work.
Accountability & Safety
We are accountable for our actions. We acknowledge and learn from our mistakes; we do not dwell on them. We ask the question “why not?” before we say “no,” with the understanding that an unconditional “yes” is not always the appropriate answer. Your childrens safety is our priority.
Respect
We strengthen our organization by being intentional about respecting individuality, embracing diversity and inclusion, and never allowing acts of nonacceptance. We give each child, family, colleague, learner, and client our full attention.
Excellence
Quality is a description we earn and maintain every day by creating healthy and safe environments for our employees and the children in our care and attending to the smallest details in all that we do. We are doing serious and important work.
