Waterford Country School is committed to doing 'Whatever It Takes' to help children and families. In the Therapeutic Foster Care Program we address each child's special needs through a team philosophy that includes case workers, therapists and foster parents. Our team becomes a family as we share in the daily needs of the kids in our care. Our families rely on us for support services, training opportunities and crisis management. We rely on them to do the daily work of mentoring and parenting the children and teens in their homes. We believe "Every child deserves a family."
