A Community Built on Care, Diversity, and Belonging
At Carebü, people come first, always.
We believe our diversity is one of our greatest strengths and makes us a more resilient, compassionate community. Inclusion is not just a policy here; it’s part of who we are and how we show up every day.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Belonging
Our commitment to belonging is rooted in the Swahili word “Karibu”, which means “welcome”. That spirit of welcome guides how we support children, families, and each other.
Carebü is a multicultural team, with staff from more than 10 countries. We actively welcome and affirm individuals of all backgrounds, including but not limited to:
Race, ethnicity, and national origin
Age, disability, and neurodivergence
Gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation

In every interaction, we strive to uphold compassion, dignity, and respect.
Equity in Action
We lead with a commitment to Equity in Action, treating people equitably and inclusively across all parts of our work. This means:
-
Fostering equitable hiring, promotion, and leadership opportunities
-
Ensuring our services and decisions are fair, transparent, and responsive to individual needs
-
Designing programs and supports that are accessible to diverse families
Equity at Carebü is not a statement, it is a daily practice.
Accessibility and Accommodation
Carebü is dedicated to ensuring the full and equal participation of all clients and families. We align our work with the New Brunswick Accessibility Act and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
We demonstrate this commitment by:
Reasonable accommodations
We provide accommodations for physical, sensory, cognitive, and episodic disabilities. This may include accessible formats, assistive technologies, and sensory-friendly environments, such as access to a sensory room at the center.
Simple, respectful request process
Requests for accommodation are handled with empathy, confidentiality, and collaboration. Our staff are trained to recognize and respond to accessibility needs in a respectful and proactive way.
Ongoing staff training
To ensure inclusive, high-quality care, our team receives ongoing education in cultural humility and completes annual training in:
-
Anti-discrimination and bias awareness
-
Inclusive and accessible communication
We also actively support neurodivergent employees by offering individualized accommodations, such as sensory tools, flexible schedules, and supportive supervision.
At Carebü, inclusion and accessibility are not “add-ons” to our work—they are the foundation of how we build safer, more welcoming spaces for every child, caregiver, and staff member who walks through our doors.
