***********************************************************************************

The successful business operation and reputation of Jack & Jill Children’s Center is built upon
the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct of our team members. Our reputation for
integrity and excellence requires careful observance of the spirit and letter of applicable laws
and regulations, as well as a scrupulous regard for the highest professional standards of conduct
and personal integrity.

The continued success of Jack & Jill Children’s Center is dependent upon our clients’ trust and
we are dedicated to preserving that trust. Team members owe a duty to Jack & Jill Children’s
Center, and its clients, to act in a way that will merit their continued trust and confidence.

Jack & Jill Children’s Center will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects
its directors, officers, and team members to conduct business in accordance with the letter,
spirit, and intent of all relevant laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations and to refrain from
any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.

In general, the use of good judgment, based on high ethical principles, will guide team
members with respect to acceptable conduct. When a situation arises where it is difficult to
determine the proper course of action, the team member should discuss the matter with his or
her immediate supervisor, and if necessary, with the Chief Executive Officer for advice and
consultation.

Compliance with this policy of Business Ethics and Conduct is the responsibility of every Jack &
Jill Children’s Center team member. Disregarding or failing to meet this standard of business
ethics and conduct will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
