Our Mission
We want to support the firm foundation of every child knowing they are deeply loved and supported. The engagement of our JoyLeaders gives children the room to be themselves and parents the space to take a deep breath. With an emphasis on education and presence, we support our community with parental resources and educational modules for our JoyLeaders.
“Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” -Rita Pierson
We Dream.
We dream of a world full of community support. Some people come from supportive backgrounds and other families are doing the best they can to survive. We want Lifting Up Community Kindness to help every child have a strong foundation of support.
We Build.
Our JoyLeaders are our community builders. They are not babysitters. JoyLeaders are there to help parents by holding the baby, join the family for dinner or read a book to the children. Connection and Presence are the purpose of Lifting Up Community Kindness.
We Grow.
We want to see a world where Growth Mindset is the norm. We want our education modules for parents and JoyLeaders to help us all see different perspectives and to realize our strength is in our diversity.
Community & Self Care
Joy Leaders presence helps parents make time for taking a deep breath. The presence of JoyLeaders naturally helps children spent more time in nature and away from screens.
Emotional Intelligence.
We practice managing our emotions. This process helps model emotional maturity for children. We can be more caring when are not expecting perfection from ourselves or children.
Communication.
We emphasize talking directly to one’s child including ASL for babies to help children build mental constructs, increase bonding, and decrease temper tantrums
