A licensed child-placing agency handles the licensing, training, and ongoing support that foster families need.
What Fostering With Childplace Looks Like
Children come into foster care because a court removed them from an unsafe home. They arrive carrying the trauma of abuse, neglect, and the loss of everything familiar.
Foster families give them somewhere safe and steady to land while the adults sort out what comes next. That means structure, patience, and a home where physical, emotional, and spiritual growth are all possible.
Childplace trains and equips families for that work, partnering with you every step of the way.
Working With DCS, Biological Families, and You
Reunification is the primary goal of foster care. Roughly two out of three children in foster care return to their biological families, and Childplace works toward that outcome alongside the Indiana Department of Child Services, biological parents, and the providers involved in a case.
That shapes how we support foster families. You'll be asked to hold two things at once: care for a child fully and support a plan that may send them home.
Our team handles case coordination, licensing, and crisis support so foster parents can focus on the child in front of them. Every family and every child that comes through Childplace has worth, and we build our services around that reality.
Where We Serve
Childplace’s main office is located at 2420 East 10th Street in Jeffersonville, Indiana. We license foster families throughout Southern Indiana, including Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, and Washington counties.
