About us

On January 21, 1847, a group of Poughkeepsie women called the Female Guardian Society met to form the Poughkeepsie Orphan House and Home of the Friendless to care for the poor, abandoned and neglected in their communities, most especially the children. Their belief was that all children deserve a nurturing and caring environment. More than 175 years later, their work continues. Today, the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie provides a full range of Community Based Services and Residential Services giving hope and healing to at-risk children throughout New York State. The Home is licensed by the NYS Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS), the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) and the New York State Department of Health. Mission Statement Empowering children and families to achieve optimal health and well being Vision Statement A world where every child and family have access to the tools, skills and support they need to thrive
