Programs, services and outreach activities include: Residential Education and Treatment Family Support Services, Children’s Emergency Shelter and Triage services, Specialized School Programs (Grades 1-12), Aftercare Services (For youth aging out of foster care), Family Foster Care ( in Iowa and Nebraska), Early Childhood Care and Education Before and After School Programming Recruitment, and Retention of Foster and Adoptive Families. Our Mission:

To teach each child, every day, the values and life skills essential to a successful life- One full of caring, contribution and commitment-

It is our belief that children are this nation’s most valuable resource and their families are the most important factor in their development. We recognize the unique importance of each child and our philosophy and programs develop individual abilities and talents, building in each:

The Vision to See… And the value of setting an ideal for which to reach;

The Courage to Try… And the value of accepting each obstacle as a challenge to
meet;

and The Will to Succeed… And the value of making the commitment to persevere.

Our Story

Christian Home Association - Children’s Square U.S.A. was founded by Rev. and Mrs. J.G. Lemen on December 23, 1882, and incorporated March 16, 1883. We serve an average of 1200 children and families in one of our care, education, and/or treatment services. Family foster care in both Southwest Iowa and the Omaha metropolitan community remain important services. Aftercare services and supports for older teens aging out of foster care ensure successful transitions. Emergency services, including short term shelter care for children, are critical at the time of a crisis. We continue to grow our early childhood education programs and expand our outpatient therapy services. Our Mission: To teach each child, every day, the values and life skills essential to a successful life- One full of caring, contribution and commitment- It is our belief that children are this nation’s most valuable resource and their families are the most important factor in their development. We recognize the unique importance of each child and our philosophy and programs develop individual abilities and talents, building in each: The Vision to See… And the value of setting an ideal for which to reach; The Courage to Try… And the value of accepting each obstacle as a challenge to meet; and The Will to Succeed… And the value of making the commitment to persevere.
