OUR PROGRAMS
St. Joe’s provides stability and treatment for some of Kentucky’s most vulnerable children. The Residential Treatment program is licensed to serve 48 children, ages 6-14 years old. The children who call St. Joe’s “home” were removed from their biological families due to significant abuse and neglect. They have lived in approximately 12 different places (i.e., emergency shelters, foster homes, etc.) before arriving at St. Joe’s and on average, live at the home for one year. St. Joe’s becomes an extended family for many children and it is not uncommon for a child to say, “For the first time, I feel safe.”

This program serves children from infancy to 21 years old who are currently placed in Kentucky’s foster care system. The St. Joe’s foster care and adoption team recruits and trains families from the community to become foster parents while also providing 24/7 support to meet the various needs of its foster families. It continues to facilitate one of the largest number of adoptions of any private child caring agency in Kentucky.

St. Joe’s boasts one of the best Child Development Center preschool programs in the city, which is offered to children in the general public and is a valued staple of the Crescent Hill community. Standards-based curriculum and an excellent teacher to student ratio are all benefits of this fabulous program. The CDC also features an in-house enrichment program for 2-5 year olds (music, movement, science and art), including Minds in Motion and a miniature farm-to-table garden experience!
