History
In 1903, the Rev. John E. Klingberg founded “The Children’s Home” to care for boys and girls who were orphaned, abandoned or whose families were unable to care for them due to medical or economic hardship. Many of the more than 2,000 youngsters who came to The Home during the orphanage era spent their entire childhood there. In 1968, the organization began a successful transition into a treatment center for children and families.
