The mission of the VA Kids Center is to provide high quality early care and education for children of federal employees and the community. We offer a home-like environment with our small class sizes. At VAKC we follow the Montessori Method while promoting each child’s individual social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development while fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Our core values are aligned with the VA’s “I CARE” values of Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect, and Excellence. This is what they mean to us:
Act with high moral principle.
Adhere to the highest professional standards.
Maintain the trust and confidence of all with whom we engage.
Work diligently to serve children and their families.
Be driven by an earnest belief in our vision.
Fulfill our individual and organizational responsibilities.
Be truly child-centric by identifying, fully considering, and appropriately advancing the interests of children and their families.
Treat all those we serve and with whom we work with dignity and respect.
Show respect to earn it.
Strive for the highest quality and continuous improvement.
Be thoughtful and decisive in leadership, accountable for our actions, willing to admit mistakes, and rigorous in correcting them.
