Webster-Cantrell Hall has maintained its status as a premier residential center for children.  The average amount of time children live at the facility is approximately six months.  The goal is to either return the children to their homes or place them in foster care, depending upon their situation.  In contrast to the babies who came into the old Homes during the orphanage days, the youngest age currently accepted into the residential program is 12 with the oldest being 18.

There is an on-ground school program that is attended by residents who are not able to attend public schools.  It consists of three classrooms and a library, plus a home economics and arts and crafts room.  It is staffed by two full time teachers.

Numerous services are available to the children, such as counseling, community service, and therapeutic recreation.  The purpose of these services is to help the kids deal with their problems. 

Although there are no longer live-in "house parents," the facility is staffed 24 hours a day.  These workers are the best of the best, and they truly care about the children they serve.

We hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of Webster-Cantrell Hall.  From orphanage to modern child welfare agency, Webster-Cantrell Hall has weathered the social service spectrum.  Although it has experienced many changes throughout the years, its commitment to providing children and families with a loving, nurturing environment has never changed.
