El Ranchito de los Niños is a private, non-profit, Christian organization that provides children, focusing on sibling groups, with a permanent/long-term home in a rural, family setting, as an alternative to state foster care.
We believe these three fundamental teachings are key to providing a healthy childhood for our children:
*There is a God
*Every child is important, is treated with dignity and taught to have self-worth
*Every child receives the best education possible
El Ranchito de los Niños will be a safe, loving home where children grow in a supportive, family farm setting. Education, personal responsibility and charity to and from others will guide us as we strive to provide an alternative to foster care and adoption. The goals are to give children a stable home in which they may grow to adulthood and to allow sibling groups to remain together. All ages of children, 1 to 18, will be considered for admission to the home. El Ranchito de los Niños will offer family-style living. Each child will assume responsibility for various tasks required to keep the home running smoothly. Each child will be expected to keep his/her room clean and tidy. Additional responsibilities at the home may include animal care, landscaping, gardening, general maintenance, helping with meal preparation, laundry, etc.
El Ranchito's goal is to have every child who enters our door leave fear and abuse at the front doorsteps. When our children leave, they enter the world as productive and educated adults whose children will never need our services.
