Mission Statement
The mission of PICCS is to provide high-quality, affordable child care and to offer Family Resource programs and services that foster the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development of children, and involve and support parents. These programs enhance the lives of children and families and provide a vital community service.
Philosophy Statement
The philosophy of PICCS is that children learn best in a nurturing environment where there is time for both planned and child-directed activities, indoor and outdoor play, and active and quiet times. Children are entitled to be respected as unique individuals, to have their feelings heard and acknowledged, and to be provided with opportunities to develop and be happy together.
Parents benefit from being involved in a meaningful way in their family’s child care experience, and rely on quality care for their children while they are involved in work, educational, or other commitments or personal fulfillment.
PICCS employees and volunteers benefit from a working environment that values their training, skills, and commitment to child care. PICCS demonstrates this respect in communications and policies.
