The campus programs offer basic and moderate child care services however, Boles Children's Home remains true to its identity and heritage - being a home for children. This includes an atmosphere of warmth and stability with opportunity for long-term relationships, a sense of belonging in a family setting, and within a larger community. Graduates can expect aftercare services: a long-term commitment from staff who can continue to assist them in college or vocational training and continue meaningful relationships far into adulthood.
A professionally-trained staff, carefully selected for their competence and commitment, utilize cutting-edge technical skills and training to provide leadership of the teamwork mobilized to provide care to the children and families.
