Importance of Education: Our agency strives to provide the highest quality early learning experience for every child who attends Compass. Our teachers and staff receive ongoing professional development and continuing education to allow us to continue to strengthen our knowledge and skills.
Whole-Family Approach: Child development extends beyond the classroom and requires the support and strengths of the entire family. By offering sliding-scale tuition, family resources, and a comprehensive coaching program for family members, we address the entire support system.
Respect: We value the importance of unconditional positive regard. Our agency treats our children, family participants, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners with dignity and respect.
Supportive Environment: We recognize that progress and success in achieving economic mobility evolves from a series of structured support systems within a person’s life. We work to provide a variety of opportunities to access these systems within and outside of our agency. We create an environment for families, children, and staff to experience safety, security, connection, and confidence.
Equity: We promote equity over equality. We strive to provide an equitable level of access to quality early learning and support services. Our programs are designed to help address social and economic inequalities.
Stewardship: We prioritize responsible resource management. Every dollar is allocated towards our agency’s mission. We believe in mutual trust, accountability, transparency, and integrity between our agency and all stakeholders. We honor the trust of our donors and supporters, ensuring that their investments result in tangible, sustainable outcomes.
