Core Values
HUMILITY
When dealing with children, it is essential to exhibit love and care in our behavior. Kindness, patience, courteousness, generousness and friendliness toward children and fellow workers are strongly encouraged. We are always the examples to the children we care for, therefore our actions toward them must always model that of high humility and integrity.
HONOR
It is a privilege for each of us at Pear Tree Explorers to work with growing children during their tender years of their lives. With the wealth of knowledge that we have acquired throughout our training as well as life experience, we are in the position to “pay [our best] forward.” As leaders at Pear Tree Explorers we understand that it is not our right but our duty to provide our BEST care and teach the wonderful children who will one day impact the world.
RESPECT
We are esteemed to embrace variety. Our differences are what make us all unique and together when we apply all the great things that we know, we can build toward greater things. This is why we feel it is of great importance that every person respects one another. It is very important to us to maintain a friendly environment with inclusion for all of our children regardless of their personal differences.
SAFETY
Our staff members are required to have NYS Health and Safety Certification, First Aid and CPR. In the event of emergencies or evacuations, we are equipped to confidently and diligently secure the safety and well-being of every single person in our care.
PROFESSIONALISM
As industry leaders, our core competences and skills as professionals are essential. We are committed to maintaining a high level of professionalism in our actions as well as our business acumen. “Punctuality shows your level of respect towards your commitments.” Our punctuality, our conduct, our professional appearance, our business handling, and our overall business structure is what we are respected for. We aim to continue to deliver high quality of service.
ASSOCIATE RECOGNITION
At Pear Tree Explorers, we understand the importance of celebrating outstanding work and teamwork. We are against favoritism on any level and all recognition will be to those who have earned it. Celebrating is such a fun way to encourage and support the very backbone of our organization and therefore it is a delight for us to give incentives for eligible associates.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
At Pear Tree Explorers, we ‘explore’ various ways to offer community outreach in order to help strengthen our community. Without our community, we have no place.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
We encourage our children and staff to support our environment by being mindful of how we use paper, how we discard trash, how we conserve energy as well as how we recycle.
