Our purpose
We believe respite care should support the child and the family at the same time.
Care is more meaningful when it respects familiar routines, recognizes individual strengths and listens to the people who know the child best. Tender Care works from that starting point.
Our goal is to create a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where children can participate in meaningful activities while families feel supported, informed and respected.
