Foster care community
Southeastern Children’s Home is a Foster Care Community Program that provides residential services to abused, neglected or troubled boys and girls ages 0-21. These children, while extremely vibrant, require a great deal of behavior intervention. Upon completion of the program our young men and women are either returned to their natural home, placed in a less restrictive environment, or placed in an independent living program.
Our children attend local public schools (Spartanburg County District Five) and are greeted three days a week after school by our on-site tutors to assist with home work or special projects.
Our foster homes use a parenting model in which a Christian couple lives in the residential facility with our children. The foster parents consistently work with our young people to provide a stable nurturing environment.
Southeastern Children’s Home has four foster homes. Three of the foster homes, the Smith Cottage and the Senn Cottage, and the Kimberly Cottage are located on our main campus in Duncan, SC. Another is located near by in Lyman, SC. The Smith Cottage can host up to eight children. Similarly, the Senn Cottage is a foster home for up to eight children and the Kimberly Cottage can host up to 4 children. In the nearby town of Lyman, we have an additional foster home that can host 4 children. The foster children learn independent living skills that will allow them to flourish upon graduation of our program.
Educational Program
Most of the children referred to our residential foster program have been placed in several foster or group homes over their short lifespan. As a result, the majority of our residents come to Southeastern Children’s Home approximately one or two school terms behind similarly aged children. In order to foster an environment of learning, we employ teachers who work with each of the children after school in our state-of-the-art classroom setting located in the Family Service Center. During these times, our students receive individualized attention for difficult assignments and projects. Additionally, during their tutoring sessions, our children have access to computers and internet for research.
