Crisis Nursery Program
About Sacramento Children’s Home
Since 1867, the Sacramento Children’s Home has been committed to helping children by providing high-quality care to the Sacramento region’s most vulnerable children and families. Our 157+ year history has positioned our agency at the forefront of caring for at-risk youth and helping to build strong families throughout our community.
From providing crisis support for families with infants and toddlers to providing short-term residential care to foster youth who have suffered trauma, SCH services focus on child abuse prevention, intervention, and mental health treatment for our area’s most at-risk children and families. Our programs promote child safety, positive parenting, education, and mental health, and improve the healthy functioning of families. Through our portfolio of programs, we provide services to over 7,000 children and 4,300 families each year.
Crisis Nursery
Crisis Nursery protects our community’s most vulnerable children by offering a safe, supportive environment during times of crisis. With two locations in North and South Sacramento, the Crisis Nursery Program provides free, emergency child care and overnight care for children from birth to age five, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The Crisis Nursery also provides case management services to parents and caregivers, helping them work through very difficult times in their lives. When families are facing stressful situations alone with no support, the incidence of family violence increases. By offering a safe alternative for children and supportive services to parents, the Crisis Nursery effectively reduces and/or prevents child abuse and neglect and decreases family violence.
