Nest Values
We believe a nest is more than just a shelter. Ours is a circle of care and compassion, allowing our children to feel loved, and from which they can develop the ability to lead fulfilling lives.
We don't learn to fly without first being nurtured.
Uniqueness
Every child is different and every child should know what it feels like to be special. For every child in our care, this is our starting point. We don't believe in predetermined solutions but seek first to understand and care.
Belonging
The building of good, long-lasting relationships begins at home. The allusive quality of trust can be difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain. But though the effort can be great, we also know the rewards can be greater.
Growth
Nobody starts from the same starting line in life. Some of us need more help than others, and there is nothing wrong with that. The goals of one child will not be the same as another's. We believe in celebrating the small victories.
