In-Home Child Care Supports
Our in-home child care supports provide a holistic approach that nurtures the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children within the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Who do we support?
Little Petal supports parents living with disability and who are at risk of having their child or children removed from their care because the Department for Child Protection (DCP) has concerns about their capacity to keep them safe from harm, abuse and/or neglect.
We support first-time parents, including expecting parents whose child is not born yet.
And we support families with multiple children who are required to meet their NDIS goals, and DCP and other professional recommendations and obligations, to be deemed safe and appropriate caregivers.
Tailored support that caters to the uniqueness of every child and every family.
Little Petal provides family-centred, in-home and community-based support services across Adelaide. Our multidisciplinary team works alongside families experiencing disability, child protection involvement, trauma, mental health challenges, and other complex circumstances. Through practical, strengths-based support, we help build parenting capacity, promote child and family wellbeing, and create lasting positive outcomes.
