Tommy arrives at Carolina Children's Home at 4:00 p.m. Monday afternoon, confused, scared, and unaware of why he was removed from his home when it was his parents who abused and abandoned him. It will take countless affirmations, timeless talks, and full acceptance to start rebuilding the future he felt was so quickly stripped from him. Let the rebuilding begin.

Carolina Children's Home, once an orphanage is now an accredited residential treatment facility dedicated to the care and needs of today's child. We are proud to offer a full continuum of programs and services to meet the needs of children and families. The majority of the children who reside in one of the residential programs or receive services may have been the victim of abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. The level of care provided for a child is dictated by the severity of a child's case, behavioral needs, experiences and required amount of supervision.

Children's lives are rebuilt daily as the highly trained staff at the Home design individual treatment and structured activities to focus on nurturing self-esteem, overcoming issues of abuse and neglect and improving emotional and behavioral development. We provide a home for over 100 children in need of out-of-home placement.

For nearly a century, the Home has responded to the needs of children and will continue to rebuild futures as long as there is a call to do so.

Mission Statement

The mission of Carolina Children's Home is to enhance the quality of life for children and families. Our primary service is to provide a home for children when they are unable to live with their family. We support this with a range of prevention and treatment programs that ensure continuity, are family focused and are community based.
