Our Foster & Kinship Care program offers another vital opportunity to meet our clients where they are, delivering the care and support they need, the moment they need it. Many of the children we serve need a safe, secure home and compassionate, reliable care as their families navigate difficult times. We encourage members of our community to open their hearts and consider this important responsibility.

When you choose to share your heart and home with a child through our foster care program, you can count on continuous support in return. We offer:

One-on-one ongoing support, including home visits by an assigned Foster Care Specialist
Ongoing educational opportunities and connections with experienced foster parents – a team of people working together with you to ensure success and healthy relationships
Access to experienced, caring staff who are available to answer your phone calls any time of the day or night.

Requirements to become a foster parent

If you're worried about being on your own as a foster parent, don't be! Many resources are available to families.

There are plenty of educational materials on the Nebraska DHHS website. You can learn about definitions and common phrases, Medicaid for foster youth, and what it means to become a resource parent. Plus, there are consultants available to resource families.

Remember, there's plenty of information you can find online as well. From blogs to books, there's no shortage of educational materials for foster parents. Many informative materials cost nothing and teach you invaluable tips.

You'll work closely with your local foster care agency. You'll always have at least one point of contact to turn to if you have questions.

Don't forget about creating a support network. Make sure to include other foster parents and advocates from your area. You'll face obstacles on your journey, such as navigating the legal system or saying goodbye. Having the right person on your side for support makes all the difference.

Child Saving Institute provides amazing resources for our community unfortunately the early childhood development program is not one of those... I have been taking my children to CSI for the last 2.5 years and have tried to work with the Site Coordinator, the Director and the Executive Director on many different policies and issues that were never addressed. CSI's early childhood development program has the facilities and the organizational backing to be the standard bearer of childcare but instead the program lacks the leadership needed to fully realize its potential. The inability to hire and retain quality educators leads to inconsistent care for the children attending the center. Consistent care and routines are key for developmental growth and the lack of consistency results in CSI hiring temps to cover shifts in classrooms. This leads to chaos and poor behavior in the children as well as stress on the full-time teachers. I would not recommend the early childhood program at Child Saving Institute.
