About THE CHILDREN'S HOME

Established in 1863, The Children's Home (TCH) in Catonsville, Maryland, is a residential care facility that provides both long- and short-term services to youth 13 to 21 years of age who have experienced abuse, neglect, violence, abandonment, and/or are in need of supervised care. Located less than a mile from Baltimore City, TCH provides services to children of every race, creed, color, and religion. We provide therapeutic programs where children feel secure, loved and have a sense of belonging.

The Home's programs and activities provide an opportunity for the children to attend public schools, develop self-esteem, and experience trusting relationships with peers and adults. Our programs focus on enhancing each child's ability to function successfully in society with attention to accountability and community safety:

The Group Home consists of a long-term residential program for boys and girls ages 13 to 21 and a group extended living program for young men or women, ages 17 to 21.

The Diagnostic Center is an 16-bed, short-term emergency placement for girls, 13 to 19 years of age. 

The Treatment Foster Care Program provides temporary, specialized care to youth with behavioral or social/emotional problems. This program serves boys and girls ages 3 to 18 in structured treatment foster homes within the community.

If you are interested in becoming a foster care provider, please contact the Program Manager at 410-368-1306, ext. 106.

Transitions is an 8-bed, short-term residential transition program for boys 13 - 17 years of age providing comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic
