Our Mission
At Little Stars, our mission is to create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can reach their full potential. We believe that every child, regardless of their abilities, has unique strengths and talents that deserve to be recognized and developed. Our commitment is to provide comprehensive, personalized education and therapy services that not only address the individual needs of each child but also empower them to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. By working closely with families, educators, and therapists, we strive to create a collaborative community where children can thrive both academically and socially.
Our Vision
Our vision is to bring the best practices and innovative approaches from around the world to Rwanda, creating a model of excellence in special needs education. We aim to be a beacon of hope and a leader in the field by fostering a more inclusive and supportive community for children with special needs. Through our efforts, we aspire to transform the landscape of special needs education in Rwanda, making it more accessible, effective, and compassionate. We are dedicated to supporting Rwandan parents in navigating the complexities of raising special needs children, and we are committed to providing them with the resources and support they need to ensure their children’s success..
Our Journey
Little Stars was born from the collective experiences of a group of parents who have navigated the complexities of raising children with special needs across different continents. These parents, having witnessed the disparities in the availability and quality of special needs education, were driven by a shared vision to create a school and therapy center that could offer more than what was currently available in Rwanda. Frustrated by the limitations and lack of resources in existing schools and therapy centers, they decided to take action. They envisioned a place where children with special needs could receive the support and education they deserve—a place that would be both compassionate and rigorous in its approach. Little Stars was founded on the principles of inclusivity, excellence, and community, and it continues to grow as a beacon of hope for families seeking the best for their children.
Our Philosophy
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in an environment tailored to their unique needs. At Little Stars, our educational and therapeutic approaches are centered around the belief that each child is a star with the potential to shine brightly. We focus on providing individualized support that helps each child develop their abilities, gain confidence, and achieve their personal best. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that learning is not a one-size-fits-all process; it requires a customized approach that respects and nurtures each child's unique strengths and challenges. We are committed to creating a positive and enriching experience for our little stars, their parents, and our educators, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment that extends beyond the classroom and into the broader community.
