KVC’s Values

We have operated under a strong set of values that guide all the work we do. We’ve become who we are by asking “What would you want for your child?” and remembering “Children grow best in families” and “Excellence is not an act; it’s a habit.” We recently refreshed the language of our values, making them shorter and broader to cover all of our programs. Our values are:

• The heart of our work is helping people.
• Our character is built on authenticity and compassion.
• Family connection drives our culture.
• Collaboration fuels our improvement.
• Urgency and innovation mark our approach.
• Diverse perspectives are key to our progress.
