  • We serve our families with love, care, and compassion
  • We are dedicated to the highest quality of service and professional expertise
  • We provide a loving, caring and nurturing environment
  • We embody a passion for our purpose
  • We are invitational, not expectational - we invite the community to help serve.

Who We Are . . .

We are Caring for Children and Families. Mind. Body. Soul.
We serve the young child impacted by abuse, neglect, and mental or behavioral health needs through a suite of programs all designed to offer and facilitate early intervention. We offer both physical and mental health treatment to children during their formative years (ages birth through ten), coupled with treatment services for the entire client family.

The Cookie Jar

Because the services provided by Our Little Haven are very complex, emotional and complicated, these services are simplified through an easy example of a Cookie Jar.

Our Little Haven believes that when we’re born, God gives us a Cookie Jar and with each positive experience – every hug, each high-five, every lesson learned, every positive interaction – we get a cookie in our Cookie Jar.

At about ten years old, the ending of our formative years, what we have in our Jar is what nurtures us for the rest of our lives. The Haven Kids Jars are empty. Through our services, we provide the support, tools, and care to fill them, as well as give them the recipe to make their own cookies for the rest of their lives.

Community, Kids and Cookie Jars - doesn't get much simpler than that.

Our Little Haven and numerous studies show us that by treating those children experiencing needs stemming from abuse, neglect, unhealthy mental and behavioral issues, at the earliest age possible, allows for treatment that is life long, better for the child, better for the family, better for the community and uses fewer resources. Similar to a building, our lives are based on the need for a strong foundation. If our building’s foundation is weak there will be a catastrophic event – nobody knows when, but there will be a problem endangering those in and around the building. Similarly, if our life is based on a weak foundation, there will be a catastrophic event harming those in and around the devastated person while creating a life-long dependency on the already saturated welfare system. It becomes clear that we can “fix” the problem while the foundation is still being built (during the formative years) or we can wait until the building is done and then try to repair the foundation using precious resources to move and restore the damaged building. Our Little Haven has the ability and willingness to fix the problem early alleviating the potential of an unfulfilled life.
