About us

Pine Haven is committed to providing children with positive experiences and success oriented programs. The process is to identify appropriate behaviors: catching the child doing right.

Catching the child doing right

Pine Haven’s philosophy can be summarized in two statements:

* “There is no such thing as a bad child.”

* “Children need and are entitled to their families.”

Pine Haven feels that when a child, over time, acquires or develops destructive and unhealthy patterns of behavior, given the opportunity, he can relearn more productive and adequate habits. 

Pine Haven also sees children as components of the family system and values families as equal, respected and active partners.

Pine Haven believes that families play a unique role in the child’s development and growth; we believe families can change and successfully reunite.

The vision of Pine Haven Boys Center is to offer care that is accessible, safe, ethical, culturally diverse (if possible) and of high quality to promote and strengthen the health and well-being of our clients and, if possible, of their families

Pine Haven is committed to integrating the values of Respect, Integrity, Dedication, Quality and Professionalism into every activity and service provided.
