Children’s Guardian House in partnership with the Children’s Crisis Center have established a special home in Oakdale. With the goal to provide child abuse prevention and intervention services to abused, neglected and at risk children in Stanislaus County and its surrounding communities.

The goal of the Guardian House program is to effectively promote healthy development, cognitive growth and learning advancement for under privileged high-risk children ages newborn to 17 years, all while addressing the critical needs of their family’s circumstances. Guardian House offers protective child care, emergency shelter, quality learning, school readiness, meals, recovery, and crisis counselling to children enduring family trauma, economic hardships and threatening domestic circumstances. The Guardian House caregiving staff are credentialed in early childhood development and are certified as infant teachers, preschool teachers and school-aged teachers. They work to serve the protective, educational and health needs of vulnerable children at risk of abuse and neglect.

Children’s Guardian Fund is a 501(c)3 charity created to build and fund Guardian House with the help of the community of Oakdale.
