Welcome to

At Children First, we are dedicated to serving the needs of foster children, ages infant to 18, and the familys who care for them. Our goal is to provide children with safe, secure homes where they are able to experience a loving home environment while their family is healing and working toward restoration.

Founded in 1999, Children First has served the needs of many children and their families in Tehama, Siskiyou and Shasta Counties. Our first concern is for the safety and well-being of the children, but we are also very concerned about the health and growth of the foster families we support. We provide training, encouragement, and 24 hour emergency support to help the foster family provide the best possible environment for foster children.

Like our foster parents, all of us at Children First love kids, whether they're little babies or nearly grown teen-agers. If you share that love for kids, please read on and learn how easy it is to make a strong, positive impact in a child or young adult's life.
