Crisis Nursery Mission

Crisis Nursery is committed to creating an island of safety dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect through the provision of emergency intervention, respite care and support to families in crisis.

Our Hope

Through Crisis Nursery services, children's lives can be forever affected in a positive manner. By letting our community know we see them, we hear them, and we care; we communicate to our children and families you never have to do anything alone. We are a safe haven, striving to ensure child abuse and neglect does not have to happen.

Our Philosophy

Children should be cared for in an atmosphere of security and joy, which fosters self-confidence, independence, and growth. Coming from crisis situations the children need to have their feelings validated so they are able to build a bond of trust with the caregiver. After this is achieved the child can feel safe to explore his surroundings, which we have made developmentally appropriate and challenging for each individual child.

Crisis Nursery environment is child-centered where we strive to provide a program, which facilitates a child’s sense of security. As a result the child will develop self-confidence and gain the knowledge that he is respected, which will carry through in her interaction with others.
Crisis Nursery uses redirection as a positive form of discipline. With clear, strong boundaries we support the child to make positive choices as well as make the child aware of her choices in any situation.

At Crisis Nursery, we always have arms to hold, comfort and validate a child in crisis and an environment that supports their growth.
