More general educators and child care providers are expected to accommodate children with vary special needs, causing the demand to incorporate professional development in an effective inclusion program. Premise on the belief that substantive supportive professional development can be a powerful catalyst and incentives for workers to pursue their educational goals, our mission is to embrace inclusive early childhood education through support in the educational advancement of child care professionals. We believe child care workers are not just baby sitters, but emerging educators that often lack the compilation of supports to achieve their educational goals. With a focus on early childhood education and care, we developed an inclusive preschool program, and a staff residency program aligned with a community of supports for emerging educators. Our strategy of taking a collaborative approach enables us to design homes that are healthy, accessible, and conducive to learning and development from the start. Our purpose is to bring a sense of hope and opportunity to a community of early learners and thriving adults.
