There are six homes on campus for the 38 children currently residing at Children's Home, divided into homes for boys and girls. Some family teachers have children of their own, and incorporate all the kids into one family. And a family can make all the difference in the world. The model of care we use gives them the tools in order to come up with those results. The tools include a reward system where negative and positive points can be accrued according to the child's behavior.
Positive points earn privileges, while negative points make it more difficult to earn privileges.
Education is also a tool. The children attend public school, and academic success plays a large role in providing life skills. It is amazing if they improve in their academics how it improves their self-esteem. If they feel good about themselves they can interact with people and be successful in a job or in college. Religion is another tool.
