• helps all children experience interactions that nurture their full range of social, emotional, cognitive, physical and linguistic abilities; 
• presents a curriculum and programming that is bias-free and reflects and models fundamental principles of fairness and justice; 
• is delivered by teaching artists who are skilled in the delivery of culturally responsive pedagogy and who value all children for who they are and what they bring to our community of learners;
