Noah's Ark Children Care Homes serves a culturally diverse group of children for long-term residential care. Noah's Ark is located on 250-acres in rural Locust Grove, Georgia.  It is licensed to provide short and long term residential care to 24 children. While some children may stay a night or a weekend, and some may stay for years, the average stay for a child is 18-24 months.    

Children are referred to Noah's Ark by the Department of Family and Children's Services (DFCS). Children remain in the custody of the state and Noah's Ark works closely with each child's caseworker. 

Noah's Ark is a home where children receive unconditional love, proper nutrition, clothing and a sense of family. Medical care and education are also important components of the care given to the children, and are provided by supportive and nurturing adults. 

The philosophy at Noah's Ark Children Care Homes is unique in that it is tied to Noah's Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center, also located on the grounds. The goal is to bring children and animals together for the rehabilitation of both.  

A child who has been abused or abandoned may not be able to relate to care givers, but can find healing in caring for and inter-acting with animals. The animals, in turn, receive the love and attention they need to thrive. 

Noah's Ark Children Care Homes, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported through donations, individual child “sponsorship,” and per diem state funds.
