YOU WANT TO HELP BREAK THE CYCLE
AND GIVE KIDS IN CARE A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Currently there are over 10,000 children in out of home care in Queensland. Children enter care due to a myriad of reasons including physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect.

Once children are in foster care, their journey has only just begun. They require therapy and intensive support to deal with the trauma of abuse and the subsequent secondary traumas related to being a child in care.

You are a caring individual or company that wants to help make a difference and believes the situation children are born into should not determine their future. With your support and our expert tutors and support, we can break the cycle and give kids in care a brighter future.

Support Little Stars Kids

Welcome to Little Stars Kids

Little Stars Kids is a registered charity and holds DGR1 status. Little Stars Kids provides early intervention and trauma informed tutoring programs to improve outcomes for young people living in foster care.

Our mission is to help young people who have experienced abuse and neglect to engage in learning in a positive way and build confidence and self- esteem to enable them to thrive not only at school, but in life. 

Creating positive engagement with early learning can be the impetus a child needs to break the cycle of trauma and lead a happy and successful life.
