You are important

Every day, parents trust you with the most important person in their life—their child. That trust is no small thing. Your role is incredibly meaningful. While children are in our care, you are acting in place of the parent, and that comes with a responsibility to uphold the highest standards of care and professionalism.

What Do Parents Expect From Us?

• • That their child is safe—physically and emotionally

  • That their child feels happy, included, and supported

  • That they feel confident in choosing our program

When parents pick up their child, they should see someone who is engaged, caring, and professional. They should leave feeling reassured that their child is in good hands.

Be the Professional

Yes, you're here to have fun—but you're also here to lead. Children need both joy and structure. Build strong, trusting relationships with them, and remember:

• Display good judgement

• Maintain professionalism at all times 

• Show kindness, patience, and consistency

You Are a Role Model

Children are always watching—and imitating. Your attitude, language, clothing, and leadership send powerful messages. Ask yourself:

Would I want a child to copy this behavior right now?

“Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate.”

Make It Count

Working with children can be challenging—but it's also one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. You may not always see immediate results, but know this:
Your presence matters.
Your encouragement matters.
YOU make a difference.

Even on tough days, you have the chance to be the best part of a child’s day—and sometimes, that’s all it takes to change a life.

So keep showing up. Keep smiling. Keep leading with heart. 💛
