Our Values
At The Little Co, our work is guided by four core values:
Compassion
We understand that every family’s journey is unique, and we approach every interaction with care and respect.
Collaboration
We believe in working hand-in-hand with families to develop goals and strategies that align with their needs and priorities.
Growth
We’re committed to fostering progress, not just for the children we support, but for their families and communities as well.
Holistic
Prioritising overall wellbeing of the child and their family, focusing on life long skills.
These values form the foundation of everything we do, helping us deliver meaningful outcomes for every child.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every child has the tools and support they need to reach their full potential. At The Little Co, we define behaviour not just as actions, but as opportunities for learning, connection, and growth.
Through a positive, strengths-based approach, we aim to create lasting change for children, families, and the wider community.
