Scheduling Supervised Visits
To best meet the needs of families, we provide flexible scheduling (day and evening appointments are available 7 days a week) and offer various locations throughout the corresponding service areas. With approval, families are able to walk or bus to area attractions while accompanied by the visit supervisor.
To ensure a safe and healthy environment for the children, all parties must adhere to our family agreements for supervised visits.
