Genesis House Day Care provides for the health and welfare of children (ages birth to 12-years-old) accompanying parents who participate in the residential substance abuse program. Genesis House delivers services for the care, protection, and treatment of children who are at risk of abuse, neglect, and eventual substance abuse.
Genesis House provides parents with education in using positive parenting techniques. Our therapeutic childcare program provides children with play therapy, developmental assessment, behavior modification, individual counseling, family counseling, self-esteem building and family intervention. Parents are the primary caretakers of their children. However, the children spend approximately eight hours per day, five days a week in our therapeutic daycare with licensed childcare staff.Want more information?
Our parenting philosophy teaches the importance of showing children positive attention through play, praise and rewards. When discipline is necessary, it is done in a non-violent way. Positive parenting skills are taught through weekly parenting classes, groups, individual counseling, hands-on parenting training, and role modeling and peer support. The parents also spend a minimum of two-hours a week in the childcare with their children and staff. We feel the time the parent spends parenting their child in a supervised environment will better prepare them for when they re-enter the community.
