Jaycee’s Children Center, is a residential treatment facility established to assist and serve adolescent females, ages 11 thru 17. The goal at Jaycee’s is for these girls to increase their knowledge and skill levels so they develop into productive adults, who are self-sufficient in today’s complicated society. Each resident is provided with skills training in problem solving, interpersonal skills, and transition skills to prepare them for independent living. Our aspiration is to provide more normal life experiences for the girls, fulfilling their needs and nurturing them with love.

Jaycee’s is a 501(c)(3) charity organization.

Specifics on Jaycee’s Children Center
Jaycee’s Children Center (Jaycee’s) is licensed for 26 girls (ages 11-17). Most of the girls are sent from Children Protective Services. Jaycee's is usually full with a waiting list. Jaycee’s is in the process of updating their license to include 6 additional girls.

The Jaycees have two houses located on the same plot of land. The older house is home for 14 girls while the newer home houses 12 young girls. Each house requires 3 staff.

The girls attend Spring ISD schools. The school bus picks them up and drops them off each day in front of the house. Jaycee’s has a large van which provides transportation for the girls other needs. State Medicaid pays for a portion of the girls living expenses, but Jaycee’s relies mainly upon the generous donations from sponsors and individuals to make ends meet.

Jaycee’s has two therapists on staff and a psychiatrist that visits once per month. There are programs available to the girls that help them overcome substance abuse, abandonment issues and verbal aggression.
