Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main reasons that people use the nursery?
Families use the nursery for many different reasons. Things that can be scheduled, like doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, court, job interviews, etc. can be scheduled any time up to a week prior to the appointment. Parents can also schedule break hours once a week, just for self-care the day before or same-day. We want parents to know that they have a safe place for their children to be so they can do what they need to take care of themselves.
What ages of children do you take?
We provide care for children from newborn through age 11. Once they are 12 we can no longer take them, but we refer to Vantage Point if you are looking for a safe place for your older children.
Do you accept children with disabilities?
We discuss with the parent what the specifics of their child’s disability entails and what type of care they would need. In most cases we are able to make something work, but unfortunately if a child is medically fragile and requires intensive care with specialized training, we may not be able to take them.
How much does the nursery cost?
This is a free service for any family in the community. Donations are welcome, but no fee is required.
Adoption Respite
Respite services are available for families who have adopted at least one child through the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS).
Our adoption respite specialists give parents relief while their children are safely cared for. Usually, respite time is provided in-home, which is helpful for children easily triggered by attachment or abandonment issues.
These services are available in Utah, Wasatch, Millard, and Juab counties. On-site services are also available at our Orem location.
PARENTING CLASSES
We offer a free parenting course in a traditional group setting, or individually, that gives families tools to build strong relationship foundations.
PREVENTION EDUCATION
We seek to prevent abuse through free educational presentations offered to local schools and community groups on age-appropriate topics.
THERAPY
Our specially trained therapists provide counseling for children, adults, and families to help them find hope and healing after trauma.
