No Such Thing As A Bad Kid
This mission statement rings true in all of our programs. That is our starting point despite what sometimes are inscribed on the historical records of any child, especially adolescents, that are presented to us and despite what a child has done, mistakes that have been made, and attitudes or anger that are sometimes part of a child’s history. This reflects our belief that at heart, in the way our brains work, given the choice, no child would prefer failure over success, be disliked more than liked, and would rather be viewed as “bad” than “good” in the eyes of anyone. Our experience with children brought that home.
