At Hope Haven Crisis Nursery Foundation, it is our mission to be a short-term, volunteer care provider while families address their current crisis situation. We are not able to be a daycare/consistent childcare provider or replace such. Families should continue looking for sustainable care situations. 

 

Our mission states:

Hope Haven Crisis Nursery is committed to protecting children by providing local families with short-term care for children, birth to 5 years old, whose parents or guardians are in distress or crisis such as domestic violence, homelessness, joblessness, medical situations, mental health needs, and more. By providing a safe home for children, we offer parents availability to address their situation while also providing resources and information for other assistance. Our services are free, confidential, and voluntary.

​

The board requires 24 hours to further approve any family seeking to use the nursery for more than 8 hours within a calendar week. More time may be necessary if the board feels as if an in-person meeting with the parent(s) should take place to better understand the situation/help desired before making a decision.
