Our Story

Building the village that raises a child.

Little Village was created for our community. It's a place where everyone is welcome — especially neurodiverse kids, isolated parents, and families who need a safe space.

Behind the scenes

When I signed the lease, I didn't expect to also be fighting for stable housing in a housing crisis, rebuilding life after domestic violence, raising two neurodiverse children largely on my own, and navigating ongoing advocacy regarding professional misconduct — all while doing my best to hold everything together and still showing up for this community every day.

I never gave up because this space matters. And so do the people in it.

What we believe

  • Everyone deserves a warm welcome — no exceptions.
  • Parenting is hard. The village makes it lighter.
  • Neurodiverse kids and families belong, exactly as they are.
  • Community is built one shared cup of tea at a time.
