About Sacramento Children's Home

Founded in 1867, today the Sacramento Children's Home offers 24 hour, community and educational programs that serve more than 1,800 families and 3,500 children of the Greater Sacramento Area each year. Our programs address the needs of children prenatal to young adulthood: from early intervention to intensive trauma care — from new born to emancipated youth. We believe in prevention and finding long-term care for our children.

The Sacramento Children's Home provides a broader continuum of care than any other agency of its kind in the region: The Sacramento Children's Home operates nine programs in 10 locations. The expertise of its staff and the range of their skills contribute to the highest quality of care for children at each developmental stage. Its length of service to the children of the region is unique and its programs are recognized for innovation and quality.

Our Mission

The Sacramento Children's Home is committed to helping build strong families; to opening doors to the future; to maximizing potential; and ending the cycle of child abuse.
