When a baby or young child has been abandoned, neglected or placed in an unsafe situation, the first need is simple but urgent: A safe place. Life Spring Children’s Home provides a loving Christian home for rescued children, primarily from birth to five years old, while working toward safe, appropriate family-based care whenever possible. Here, children are given more than somewhere to stay. They are welcomed, cared for, nursed back to health and surrounded by people committed to showing them the love of God.
The children who come to Life Spring have experienced circumstances no young child should have to navigate.
Life Spring exists to provide that safe place.
Children are received through the appropriate authorities, including the Children’s Department and the police, and welcomed into an environment designed to feel less like an institution and more like a home.
Because safety is the first step toward hope.
Life Spring Children’s Home is a baby rescue center caring primarily for children between 0 and 5 years old.
Some children remain beyond the age of five when an appropriate family-care option has not yet been secured.
The goal is not for children to remain in residential care indefinitely.
Where possible, Life Spring works toward alternative family care, which may include:
Every child’s situation is different. Some may stay for only a short period. Others may need care for much longer while the right next step is identified.
Throughout that journey, the priority remains the same:
Keep the child safe, Care for them well, and Work toward a secure family environment.
The best outcome is not simply leaving the center. It is belonging somewhere safe. Life Spring’s work includes helping children move from residential care into an appropriate family setting.
A child may arrive at Life Spring following intervention by the Children’s Department or police. From that moment, the focus shifts from crisis to care.
The child is brought into a secure and caring environment.
Children who need physical recovery are cared for and nursed toward better health.
Children receive food, clothing, shelter, nurturing and the everyday care young children need.
Life Spring is a Christian ministry, and the children are cared for in an environment shaped by love, compassion and faith.
Where possible, the team works toward an appropriate long-term family solution such as reunification, foster care, reintegration or adoption.
