Service Values
You notice Elliot gets quiet when other children talk about their parents. You talk to his adult at pick up and find out he is being raised by his grandparents.
You and your staff decide to stop referring to adults as "mom" or "dad" and order books with varying representation of families for the library.

Challenging behaviors are a sign of...
an unmet social or emotional need- sometimes they happen because children are hungry, tired, or even bored. But all challenging behaviors are a signal that a child doesn’t know how to express their needs safely or appropriately
Champions staff try to find fun and creative ways to know their children and family culture, background, etc, to incorporate those experiences into program. You want to ensure each child feels seen, represented, and accepted when they are in Champions.
