4Children's model
As a child centred organisation dedicated to the care, education and personal development of children, we aspire to ensure that all children, young people and their families have access to a creative, safe and child focused environment and activities.
To deliver this vision, we believe that:
- We need to value all children as individuals
- We need to ensure that every child’s needs are met
- Children are encouraged to learn and develop through play
- Children should be involved in shaping and in decisions about the services they receive
- A partnership with parents is essential
- We are committed to providing a universal and accessible service
4Children’s key aim is to increase high quality opportunities for children and parents in the community. The following principles reflect what 4Children stands for and our core values:
- Services and communities that put children at the core but also meet the needs of parents, including working parents
- New opportunities for children and parents to learn and develop to meet their potential
- Children and parents as active participants in their own lives and in their local services
- High quality services leading to stronger communities
