Mission
The mission of QCC is to expand the capacity of parents, child care providers and communities to nurture and educate infants and young children in Georgia.
Values
Expect the best. QCC takes an asset-based approach to our work. We help children and the people who nurture and educate
children identify and build on their strengths. Similarly, we recognize that our staff is our greatest asset and investing in their professional development to build on their strengths helps them to be the best.
Earlier is better. Because children's brains develop most rapidly between birth and age 5, providing enriching learning
opportunities for infants and young children are key the child's cognitive, emotion and physical development. Similarly, we believe that investing early in the development of child care providers and programs - getting them off to a quality start - yield the greatest return.
Relationships are key. QCC recognizes the importance of the relationships between children and the people who nurture
and educate them. These relationships provide the foundation for learning. QCC values our relationships with our partners. We value the roles and contributions of the many different people and organizations that help communities provide high quality care for infants and young children.
Quality is critical. Because we believe that all children deserve quality learning experiences, QCC raises and helps fulfill parent expectations regarding the quality of child care and early learning opportunities for children. QCC also has a responsibility to our stakeholders to ensure the highest quality of our programs which leads us to evaluate the quality and outcomes of our programs and services to improve and coordinate efforts, and extract important lessons.
People matter most. QCC embraces and honors the insight and involvement our staff, volunteers, child care providers,
community partners, and parents and caregivers who regularly contribute on behalf of children.
