Approach to Treatment:

All God's Children residential mother/baby home provides a comprehensive range of services that seeks to meet the needs of the total person -physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially and interpersonally. The first and primary goal is to provide each mother and her child with a safe and stable living environment and to meet her most critical needs. These basic physical needs, such as food, clothing, safety and shelter, must be met before moving on to other areas of need in her life.

   All God's Children strives to provide a very home-like, but structured atmosphere, through which the mothers/children can begin to have a sense of family, order and routine in their lives.  Each mother/child will have their medical and educational needs assessed upon arrival to the home. It is required for every mother to be involved in some form of continuing education. An on-site licensed and nationally accredited Early Learning Center provides care for the babies/toddlers in the home during the hours that the mothers are in school.
