About Casa de los Niños
Casa de los Niños is a Tucson community resource supporting children and families through prevention, intervention, education, and treatment. For over 50 years, the organization has served the Tucson community and Southern Arizona with a focus on preventing child abuse and neglect, strengthening families, and promoting child well-being. Its stated goal is to give families the tools to provide every child with a healthy home and a life full of opportunity.
The organization offers a range of family support and education services designed to meet families where they are. These include community education and outreach, the Kelly Early Education Center, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Parents as Teachers. Together, these programs address early childhood education, parenting support, and family strengthening. Casa de los Niños also provides child and family counseling, childcare services, and parenting classes for families seeking help with the challenges of raising children.
Foster care and adoption services are another part of the organization's work. Casa de los Niños offers foster care and adoption support, along with developmental homes. Its broader family services are intended to help children and families find safety, stability, and opportunity. The organization describes its work as a continuum of evidence-based services that addresses the needs of children and families within the community.
Behavioral health is also central to Casa de los Niños' approach. Its behavioral health services and groups and classes respond to concerns including mental health struggles and trauma, as well as the effects of abuse and neglect. The organization says it works to address the underlying causes of family instability through prevention programs, behavioral health care, and compassionate intervention. Client stories shared on its website describe support during pregnancy, preparation for a new baby, and therapy experiences that helped families move forward.
Casa de los Niños welcomes families, community partners, and agencies seeking information or making referrals. Its team helps people understand which program may fit their needs, since eligibility requirements vary and some services are open to all families while others have specific guidelines. Many services are offered at no cost, although some programs may include fees or eligibility requirements. Families can begin by reaching out to the organization, and referrals may be made directly by families, community partners, or agencies. Casa de los Niños also invites community members to support its work through donations, volunteering, employment, and internships. As a registered 501(c)(3) charity serving Tucson and Southern Arizona, it continues its mission of helping children heal, parents grow, and families stay together.
