Our Mission
We combine science and compassion to deliver innovative solutions that equip adults to meet children’s needs and cultivate their strengths.
Our Vision
Imagine a world where every child’s natural strengths are nurtured, so they realize their endless potential.
Our Unique Approach
Natural Strength Parenting™ encourages adults to be intentional and mindful in their parenting and caring for children, while focusing on the child’s innate strengths. Building on their strengths will increase their confidence, self-esteem and resilience all which lead to a positive well-being.
Values
- High Quality Standards. We strive for excellence in each of the services we offer linking to positive impact. We do this by holding ourselves and each other accountable to these standards and building each other up by recognizing and leaning into our unique, individual strengths.
- Data-Informed Innovation. Working with the community every day allows us to see trends happening in real-time. Instincts plus data help inform and guide decisions that lead to innovative solutions that positively impact not only the families we serve but the larger community as well.
- Compassionate Service. Compassion is at the heart of what we have done for over 170 years. We set an intention to be present with each of our clients, actively listen to their challenges, ask powerful questions, and offer solutions that enhance and improve their lives.
- Transformative Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We believe that cultivating a feeling of belonging among our employees, partners, children and the adults in a child’s world begins with a just, equitable and diverse organization.
- Collaborative Team Culture. We actively listen with humility and seek to understand. Problems are solved together; with an open-minded approach to brainstorming and sharing the load of execution.
