Of course it's not enough to be able to recite the mission statement back to a parent. Staff need to be incorporating it everyday in the activities that they do with the kids. It should be something that they truly believe in as teachers - whether it's providing quality childcare, using an outdoor classroom to promote curiosity, or a commitment to teaching thoughtfulness and community to children. I read a few mission statements for different childcare centers that popped up on a Google search, and if I was part of the staff, I would really make sure I thought about the mission every day and I used it as a guide for how I want to "direct" every interaction. And I would consider: are there lessons I can purposefully teach that relate back to the mission?
