Inclusion and Belonging

HOPE is committed to ensure that all HOPE children and their families are fully included within their natural environments, including in the family, in neighborhoods, with friends, and the community. It is our goal for all HOPE children to have access to participate, with individualized support as needed, in high quality, culturally and linguistically responsive childhood programs, including center-based, home-based, and community activities.

By focusing on the whole child, HOPE staff will incorporate evidence-based best practices to promote a sense of belonging, positive social relationships, and ensure that each child develops to their fullest potential. We provide families the opportunity to have ongoing discussions about how they include their child in their daily life and how HOPE staff can support.
