The recently completed building houses all of the needed support service staff for the children who reside at the Valley of the Moon Children’s Home as well as for those in foster care. To meet the children’s physical needs, visiting doctors and dentists will offer services on-site in fully equipped exam rooms. Due to neglect and poor diet, many of the children have critical dental needs. A “beauty salon” chair and sink provide the perfect place for volunteers to treat the children to a shampoo and haircut.

On staff therapists provide the emotional counseling that our children need. The new building has individual counseling rooms that provide the therapist and child an opportunity to interact in a comfortable intimate atmosphere. Counselors use dolls and toys to encourage the children to role play or talk about their experiences.

Open and airy glass enclosed rooms provide spaces for family members to interact with their children in a supervised setting. Games, books and toys are also available for use during family visits.
