Home
Central Texas Children’s Home is a non-profit organization providing family services with a Christian influence to those in need. Founded in 1969 to provide residential child care for dependent children, the services have been expanded in an attempt to assist children and families disrupted by problems. All children are given equal consideration regardless of race, religion, sex or national origin.
Central Texas Children’s Home is situated on 152 acres of beautiful ranch land 3 miles south of the city limits of Austin, Texas. Currently Central Texas Children’s Home has a capacity for 20 resident children in two cottages. Resident care is provided for children between the ages of 5 and 17. Our activity center serves as our office, pantry area, storage, and an indoor recreation center which includes a basketball court, weight equipment, and pool and ping pong tables. Outdoor facilities include a basketball court, ball playing fields and play ground area. The renovation of our Garner Cottage was completed at the end of 2007. We are currently furnishing it and hope to have it ready for 8 more children soon.
Our Mission
- To provide a Christian home environment for children dependent upon others for care.
- To promote the child’s growth physically, emotionally and in his education.
- To develop the child in the teaching of God’s word.
- To guide the young person toward a devoted life of good citizenship in the world and ultimately in the Kingdom of God.
Our Philosophy
Working with children and adolescents calls for a deep spiritual dedication, a generous amount of patience and understanding, and a knowledge about their needs at every age and state of development. It is important to recognize that each child is a separate and distinct personality with his or her own individual set of fears, hopes and aspirations. It is equally important that the child care worker develops the skills and techniques for meeting the variations in the needs of each child in care. The Christian child care worker must be diligent in his or her efforts to mold these young lives toward Christ.
