Children’s Friend is committed to excellence in all that we do. One part of our commitment to excellence involves the comprehensive and fair screening process we use when hiring new employees. Every current employee of Children’s Friend has been through this process.

As we expand, our commitment to maintain excellence in our services requires that we continue with the same screening process we have used to date.

Despite recent criticism and pressure to do otherwise, Children’s Friend remains committed to operating based on best practice, our proven experience, and what research shows works best for the children we serve. The children of Providence and the Blackstone Valley deserve nothing less.
