Operating Principles

Expand all Collapse all

• ACHIEVEMENT & EXCELLENCE

  We are driven to create a Children’s Museum that is a premier educational resource for children, families, schools and enrichment programs in San Antonio. Through both our programs and partnerships, we seek to provide high quality services for children that blend play and learning to ensure that children meet their developmental and educational milestones. We work toward our short and long-term goals with a sense of passion and urgency.

• CRITICAL THINKING

  At SACM, we value thoughtful planning and analysis in our decision-making processes and are committed to putting forth our best work in both writing and speaking. We strive to anticipate questions and challenges ahead of time and to plan accordingly. Despite our best efforts, we also know that not every initiative will be a success; we value both our successes and failures to draw lessons for the future.

• FOCUS ON QUALITY

  We are driven to exceed customer expectations in all of our interactions with parents, caregivers and educators. We look to every interaction, big or small, as an opportunity to educate children, influence parents and caregivers, and to inform the public.

• OPTIMISM

  We operate with a sense of possibility, continually striving for new and better ways to reach our goals.

• PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

  We assume personal responsibility for achieving our goals. We persevere in the face of challenges, seek resources to ensure the best outcomes, and work to exceed our personal expectations.

• TEAMWORK

  We operate with a shared sense of purpose as we recognize that there are times that the needs of the organization are more important than our individual interests. We understand that every staff member is an ambassador for the museum, representing the best interests of the organization to the public. We operate with a shared sense of purpose as we pursue both our individual and collective goals. We value and respect one another’s strengths, we recognize one another’s contributions, and we support one another in the pursuit of our goals.
