Compensation:
At Clayton we work to foster a community characterized by trust,
dignity, love, and justice, with our children and families, our
team members, and other partners on our campus and beyond. We see
these values in action each and every day as they strengthen our
Clayton community and our service to the children, families, and
educators we serve.
Community-Community fosters belonging, resiliency, stability, and
strength. We are committed to creating a caring, trauma-informed,
professional community at Clayton and we are committed to being a
positive member of the many communities we partner with and serve.
Community means living the seven Sanctuary commitments:
nonviolence, emotional intelligence, social learning, democracy,
open communication, social responsibility, and growth and
change.
Collaboration-Collaboration builds trust and relationships and
brings new ideas, skills, and knowledge to help us do better work.
We are committed to approaching our work as one team across
Clayton. Collaboration means working across teams and departments
and with our external partners.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging-Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion and Belonging leads us to reflect the communities we
serve and bring the widest variety of ideas and innovation to our
work. We are committed to building and sustaining an organization
centered on diversity, equity, and belonging. Diversity means
building a team that is reflective of the world around us, in all
aspects of our personal and professional backgrounds. Equity means
recognizing that we need to provide different resources to meet
different needs and circumstances that are often the result of
systemic injustice; it is core to everything we do in service of
our children and families and in how we work with each other.
Inclusion refers to a community where all members are and feel
respected and are able to participate and achieve their potential.
A true sense of belonging means that everyone who enters the
Clayton campus is valued for who they are and can meaningfully say
"I belong here."
Growth- Growth allows us to develop as professionals and to provide
the best services we can to the children, families, and educators
we serve. We are committed to growing as individuals and as an
organization. Growth means we are continually learning how to do
our individual and collective work better and we adapt and evolve
our programs and practices to reflect new learning and to meet
changing needs.
Stewardship-Stewardship enables us to have the greatest impact we
can with the resources we have. We are committed to being good
stewards of our community and our resources. Stewardship means
using our financial resources wisely and responsibly so that we can
sustain our work into the future, taking care of our unique and
beautiful campus so it can remain a resource for our community, and
caring for our community and team and treating each other with
respect and responsibility.
Fun-Fun reduces stress, keeps us motivated, builds connections, and
models for our children the joy that can come with learning and
working together. We are committed to having fun! Fun means
noticing and sharing things that bring us joy, being creative in
our work, making connections with each other, and finding humor and
hope in our work.
