For over 200 years, The Home for Little Wanderers has helped build stable lives and hopeful tomorrows for vulnerable children and their families.

As the oldest child welfare agency in America, we provide them with safe surroundings, permanent loving relationships, and a secure path toward a better, brighter future.

The mission of The Preschool Outreach Center (part of The Home's Center for Early Childhood) is to ensure that all children have a strong start in life, and social-emotional wellness is the linchpin of healthy development.
