Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct outlines the character and behaviour we expect from everyone associated with Stockholm Community Daycare.

• Integrity
  Our reputation as an honest, moral, and trustworthy organization is our most valuable asset. It is up to all of us to ensure that all interactions with SCD staff, children, families, and the public maintain or increase their trust in us.
• Respect
  Everyone deserves respect and dignity. All actions and communication between staff, children, families, and the public must be equitable, inclusive, and respectful of diversity. We shall all listen receptively and respond appropriately to others’ ideas, concerns and needs. We will support, encourage, and work collaboratively with others.

• Safety
  Personal security and physical, emotional, and social safety is vital to all of our well-being. We are all committed to providing a safe daycare environment free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. Everyone in the SCD facility must be treated with courtesy and respect.

• Privacy
  Our daycare community will frequently be in a position of shared knowledge regarding families’ personal lives. We will all respect and protect the privacy and security of that shared knowledge.

• Community
  We all have unique, important roles and will work collaboratively to ensure the success and sustainability of the SCD. Should there be conflict between the two, we will prioritize the collective good and well-being of the SCD community over any one individual’s needs.
