Every family’s journey looks a little different. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, navigating a difficult season, or raising a child who needs extra support, The Villages works alongside families to connect them with the right programs and services for their needs.
A STRONG START FOR YOUR BABY
Healthy Families is a voluntary program for those who are pregnant or have a newborn younger than seventy-five days, with support continuing up to five years old. Through free home visits, a dedicated Family Support Worker walks alongside your family with personalized guidance, practical resources, and encouragement every step of the way.
FAMILY TAKING CARE OF FAMILY
Kids do best when they can stay connected to family, even when their parents can’t raise them. Kinship care makes that possible, where a relative or trusted adult steps in as a full-time caregiver for kids, from birth to age 18. Since 2002, The Villages has helped kinship families with services and financial assistance to build stable, loving homes.
HELPING KIDS LEARN, PLAY, AND GROW
Children’s Village Childcare Center is a safe, welcoming space where kids get to be kids. Through outdoor activities, creative exploration, and lessons led by teachers who genuinely care, we nurture the whole child and partner with organizations to keep quality childcare within reach for every family.
BUILDING A SAFER INDIANA FOR CHILDREN
Every child deserves to grow up free from abuse and neglect. As a division of The Villages, Prevent Child Abuse Indiana (PCAIN) works across the state to make that a reality. By teaming with community and statewide organizations, we raise awareness, advocate for family-focused policies, and turn education into action—because child abuse prevention is something we can achieve together.
preparing them for what’s next
Aging out of foster care is one of life’s hardest transitions, and no young person should have to face it alone. That’s why The Villages offers support and services that help older youth transition into adulthood—from finding housing and managing money to applying for jobs and preparing for college.
KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER
Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe at home, surrounded by the family they know. The Villages walks alongside families in crisis with hands-on, home-based support—case management, therapy for the whole family, parent education, concrete resources, and access to basic essentials—so parents can build the skills and stability their children need.
Open Your Heart & Home
Choosing to become a foster parent is a beautiful, rewarding decision. By opening your heart and home, you can provide lasting stability for Indiana’s most vulnerable children. Every child deserves someone who shows up for them, no matter what. Becoming a foster parent is one of the most lasting ways to change a child’s story for good.
Give a Child Forever
Every child deserves stability, care, and love to truly thrive. By adopting, you open your heart and home to a child in need, giving them the foundation to flourish and grow. The Villages has helped hundreds of children find permanent, loving families over the years—and we’re here to guide and support you on your own adoption journey, too.
