Program Philosophy


Our guiding philosphy is that children (and adults) have the right to be treated respectfully and are expected to treat others in the same manner. This transcends nearly every aspect of the group. It means that food service staff are to be treated courteously, kids hold doors open for others, and do not dart in front of someone entering the supermarket.
