Our
Approach

At Little Footprints Care Pathways, we embrace
the principles of Australia’s Early Years Learning
Framework while making inclusion a
cornerstone of our practice:

Belonging

We create spaces where children develop a strong sense of identity and connection to family, community, and place. Our home-based environments foster security and belonging, helping children understand they are valued members of their community.

Being

We honor childhood as a time of joy, discovery, and presence. Our educators create meaningful moments that celebrate children’s interests and capabilities today, not just who they will become tomorrow.

Belonging

We create spaces where children develop a strong sense of identity and connection to family, community, and place. Our home-based environments foster security and belonging, helping children understand they are valued members of their community.

Inclusion

We believe every child deserves to participate fully in our programs. Our educators create environments where diversity is celebrated, individual needs are accommodated, and every child feels respected and valued. We actively work to remove barriers and ensure equitable learning opportunities for children of all abilities, backgrounds, and cultures.
