ABOUT US / CORE VALUES
The stated values of The Center for Children and Families are: Community, Respect, Integrity, Service, Teamwork, Empowerment, and Excellence.  These values have been identified over time as the key factors in the long term success of the Center and are not high-minded theory saved for discussions at staff meetings and retreats. We believe that these values are present in every employee of the Center and are the foundation for our philosophy, culture, and practices.
