About Us
The Children’s Home of Stockton (CHS) was established in 1882, originally created by a small group of ladies who formed the Ladies Aide Society of Stockton for the purpose of rendering charitable services to the City of Stockton. They recognized the need for a children’s shelter that provided services for dependent and neglected children and so they opened CHS as an orphanage. Today, CHS is one of the largest social services organizations in Stockton, and the only licensed Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program STRTP in San Joaquin County, that has been serving at-risk youth in San Joaquin County and throughout California for 140 years. CHS also offers an on-campus one.Vision alternative education program for our residential students which is operated through the San Joaquin County Office of Education. Each year, the Children’s Home of Stockton provides youth with comprehensive educational and therapeutic services. Our goal is to create an environment that mentors civility, expects responsibility, and promotes kindness.
