NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON
Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York is excited to announce that we were recently awarded a grant designated to fund the redesign of our website through the generosity of the Fran and Walter Otto Foundation. In addition to a new visual format, the new website will have added features including additional program information, increased opportunities for giving and greater functionality to make it easier for our visitors to access the information they need and communicate with the agency electronically. We anticipate the new site to launch in the summer of 2008. If you have any ideas or suggestions about how you would like to see our website better serve you, please send them to info@lfchild.org.
Our Mission And History
Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York, rooted in the Catholic tradition and guided by the lives of Saint Therese Liseux and Saint Peter Claver, transforms caring into action to deliver services, programs and direction to improve the lives of any and all children, families and adults in need.
In 1929, the parishioners of St. Peter Claver 's Church in Bedford Stuyvesant, concerned about neighborhood children, established a summer camp on the shores of the Long Island Sound. As the economic situation worsened, the summer camp evolved into a year round school. Over time municipalities were confronted with growing numbers of children who needed placement away from their homes. Little Flower responded to this need by developing a Residential Treatment Center.
Programs And Services
A tradition
of responding to societal needs took hold and continues today.
Thus the agency developed the following programs and services:• Foster boarding homes for children to provide familial settings when they need foster care
• Foster homes for children with HIV/AIDS or other chronic serious medical problems
• Foster homes for teen mothers and their children
• Therapeutic Foster Boarding Homes for children and youth
• Campus based Residential Treatment Center for children ages 7-14
• Union Free School District for Campus Residents grades 2-9
• Adoption services for children who can not safely return to their families
• Independent living preparation for teens in foster care
• Family Day Care and After School services
• Residential Services for Developmentally Disabled Adults
• Medicaid Service Coordination for Developmentally Disabled Adults
• Parenting Skills training
The agency's dedicated, professional, multi-discipline staff, administrators and volunteers consistently work to achieve excellence in the services delivered.
The Board of Directors is committed to maintain fiscal stability and administrative viability while encouraging diversification commensurate with highest quality of services. Our numerous, generous donors and other supporters continue to make it possible for Little Flower to carry out its mission.
