About Little Leaps
Our Values
What sets us apart
Our motto, "Making the Little Leaps Count," encapsulates our commitment to celebrating every step, shuffle, slide, progression or leap, no matter how small. We recognise that each achievement can be a milestone in a child's journey, and we are dedicated to supporting and celebrating these moments with you.
Compassion
At the heart of Little Leaps Therapy Services is a deep sense of compassion. We understand that every child and family is unique, and we approach each circumstance with empathy and care. We strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you and your child feel safe and valued, because we know children thrive when they feel secure.
Trust
We want to empower your child and their support team to be part of your child’s progress, to feel their voice is valued and to always feel comfortable to ask questions. Building that trust with your child is the key to unlocking their potential.
Personalised, expert care
Our physiotherapists have a passion for life-long learning and are dedicated to evidence based practice. Each of our physiotherapists have over 15 years of experience bringing a high level of expertise to our practice. We tailor our therapy plans to your child’s specific needs, challenges, strengths, and goals. Our personalised approach helps children make meaningful progress, empowering independence. Tracy and Jan also teach and mentor undergraduate physiotherapists at two leading Sydney universities. All of this ensures that your child receives the most effective and up-to-date care possible.
Community
They say it takes a village - and we’re proud to be part of yours. We believe in the power of community. We work closely with local healthcare providers, educators, and other professionals to create a collaborative support network for your child. We foster strong community connections to provide holistic and effective care.
