Who We Are - Our Vision & Mission

KidScape Productions (kSp) BEST exists to support the following vision, mission and values statements:

All children learn best through "play" and need a safe place to be able to experience actions and consequences. A confident articulate child has the ability to exceed in all areas of life. Engaging, hands- on activities help children with Social Discipline and instill team work skills while connecting each child to his/her family, school and community.

The mission of kSp's BEST is to provide a safe and supervised environment for children to learn life skills which will help them not only with their future educational experience, but will give them the necessary strengths to succeed throughout their entire lives.

1. Nothing we do is as important as the effect it has on a child.

2. Engaging activities develop values, skills and relationships. Activities are not seen as ends in themselves, but as vehicles for creating values, building skills and solidifying peer and adult relationships. An engaging activity is one that holds children's attention, awakens their imagination, and inspires them to want to learn more.

3. All children have equal rights to be accepted, respected and valued by others. Children are viewed as individuals to be developed, not problems to be solved.

4. Children should be involved in decision-making and program design. If children get to choose how, when, in what and with whom to be engaged, they are far more likely to enjoy themselves and behave cooperatively.

5. When we listen for understanding, everyone learns-children and adults alike. We are constantly able to learn from our children as well as each other. Everyone is a learner.
