Responsibility- I show up every day for the children and for my team. I am committed to keeping the children in my care safe. I believe in adding to my team by being an active and positive participant.

Integrity- I do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Flexibility - I am not afraid to take risks and to try something new as long as my team supports me.

Fun- I love to have FUN! It makes me feel good when I inspire fun and creativity in others.
