At School Care Team, we focus our energy on preserving the same culture of care in our workplace that we share with the schools we serve. For our employees, this culture of care includes opportunities to be heard and be innovative, honesty and transparency with teammates, and being open and vulnerable while contributing to our value of trust. We coach our client schools on creating a culture of care and belonging, so it's a priority for us to ensure those principles are nurtured in our own environment.
