Brantwood Children's Home

Brantwood is a Home for children who need one. We serve boys and girls ages ten to twenty years old who, through no actions of their own, have not received a fair start to life, and provide them with the same things that any parent would provide their own children. In addition to the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter, we attempt to instill a sense of normalcy and provide a caring, family environment for the children who received our care over the past year.

The independent living program strives to provide children ages eighteen to twenty one with the tools, skills knowledge and experience they need to secure and maintain employment and housing; assume responsibility for their health and nutrition; contribute to their community; and form rewarding relationships with their peers. For Brantwood, our job extends beyond the Children's eighteenth birthday, as we provide transportation, minimal supervision and mentoring while attempting to ensure the Children's success into adulthood.

Finding a need for a more specialized educational program for our children, Brantwood began educating our youth on-site in the mid 1990's thanks to a donation from the kiwanis club of montgomery, which was used to build our school building. The Brantwood on-site educational program or bosep, as it is commonly called, allows children a safe place to learn at their own levels. Having a lower student to teacher ratio allows us to account for the individual aptitudes, interests and challenges of our children while striving to re-shape our Children's attitude towards education.
