For 38 years, Crisis Nursery has created an "Island of Safety" dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect through the provision of 24 hour emergency care for children and services to strengthen families in crisis. Crisis Nursery is the only emergency-based child care facility open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year that is accessible to the entire community; we charge no fees and there are no income restrictions for families who need us. In addition to providing safe shelter to children ages birth through six, we also offer parenting education, home visiting, and other specialized programming to improve parenting skills and confidence and move families towards self-sufficiency.
