| “A lot of parents don’t have an extended support system, such as a family member or trusted friend they can call when they need someone to care for their children in an emergency. Those situations can lead to neglect or even abuse. We want to avoid that by making the alternative care we provide at the Crisis Nursery as accessible as possible.” |
| - DiAnne Mueller, Executive Director |
The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery, with five locations in St. Louis and St. Charles, has been a valuable asset in the greater region for over 23 years. Trained staff provides 24-hour care for children, birth to age 12, whose families are facing crisis or emergency. Committed to the prevention of child abuse and neglect, the Crisis Nursery has provided care and support for over 67,000 families since first opening its doors in 1986. www.crisisnurserykids.org
