- Nurturing each child's and family's unique qualities and potential
- Partnering with families; building upon their strengths
- Creating an environment that promotes respect and growth
- Collaborating with community partners in Cowlitz County
“Our vision is that families be empowered to make a positive difference in their lives and in the community where we all live, work and learn”.
