Children's Homes Inc. 5515 Walcott Road, Paragould, AR 72450

"Honestly, if I could rate lower, I would. I am a previous resident at the Children's Homes in Paragould. Overall, my experience there was nothing short of a terrible experience. Looking at the website after being released, I realize there is a lot of false advertising. The website and directors claim the home to be a supporting, encouraging environment. However, there are many things that go on inside, that many don't see or hear of. Constant demeaning and patronizing are a few of them. Although great claims are made, the adults and staff here provide little to no care. Except a few which are as follows. Ms. Haught and Ms. Taylor. Over the course of my time spent here, these were the only people that seemed to care. I struggled a lot , and I'm not a bad kid. I needed some support more than anything. The home is most definitely lacking. I was not treated correctly, despite the claims of a Christian environment. Unlike the other reviews here, that are all adults, this one is from a past resident. I know what it's like to suffer there."

"My son went here with his school to help clean and organize the gym I believe it was. Before going he was very skeptical because he knew that the kiddos here was probably missing their real families and it made him very sad... He is a very sensitive young man and wants to help everyone ,so when I went to pick him up he was telling me all about his day and all the neat stuff they got to do with the kiddos there. He said everyone was so nice to all of them and very helpful as well. He said " Mom these kids are just like me, but without homes for the while". Although he was still sad about that fact he added that he even made friends with some of the kiddos that stay here. My heart was pleased and thankful to the Lord for giving me a son like this and also thankful to the Lord for places like this as a safety for kiddos in need. God Bless and Make Beautiful Memories!"

"Best"
