Our philosophy is that every family has the ability to alter their social conditions. Parents are recognized as their children’s primary educators and experiences are offered to parents as voluteers in the classroom to inclusion in the decision making process in the operation of the program. Parents have representation on the Delegate Agency Policy Committee and work closely with the Executive Director
