Mission: To work collaboratively, with public and private organizations, communities, families, businesses, and all Hawai'i's stakeholders to advocate for an early childhood system that equitably supports all Hawai'i's children and families.
Vision: Hawai'i as a place where families thrive, and children are given their best opportunities for a strong start.
Values: As advocates, we will abide by and stand firmly on the values of Aloha Spirit; we call upon our leaders to do the same. "Aloha Spirit is the coordination of mind and heart within each person...(b) In exercising their power on behalf of the people and in fulfillment of their responsibilities, obligations and service to the people, the legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, executive officers of each department, the chief justice, associate justices, and judges of the appellate, circuit, and district courts may contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the "Aloha Spirit". [L 1986, c 202, §1]" (HRS §5-7.5)
