2009—Childhaven celebrates 100 years of caring for children. Today, Childhaven serves 500 young children and their families each year in four locations. Our model Therapeutic Child Care Program has been replicated in communities throughout the state, in other parts of the United States and in Canada.
Our second century—“Through the past 100 years, this agency has constantly adapted to the needs of the community,” says Patrick Gogerty. “Childhaven is a community effort that organically changes and grows and develops and proves its effectiveness.” To continue Childhaven’s impact into its second century, he adds, will take increased community involvement. “Support it. Nurture it. Love it. Just like you do with kids.”
