Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
PLASP Child Care Services is committed to being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and to providing programs that inspire and support children in learning about and accepting others every day.
This is evident in living our core values. Likewise, we at PLASP remain guided by our strategy to L.E.A.D. (Learn, Educate, Act, and Demonstrate) and we have strengthened our commitment to developing and implementing a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) strategy for meaningful and sustained change.
