And love is at the heart of relationships. How do we continue improving how we work while strengthening a culture of love, respect, compassion and honesty? How do we have the crucial conversations that may be hard but ultimately build a loving culture?

I’m excited for all staff to experience this opportunity

I think it will enforce that all staff at Kidango are leaders though their titles may not reflect it. There are opportunities for all to embrace and understand our core values

LAABS in my opinion is one of the best initiative Kidango has ever implemented.

There seems to be a real culture of caring at Kidango. It starts with our kids and moves through our teams.
