About

The Children's Village is a nonprofit child-welfare organization with a residential campus and school in Dobbs Ferry, New York. The organization supports children, teens, and families through residential programs, foster care, community programs, housing, and advocacy.

The organization was founded in 1851 as the New York Juvenile Asylum. Its official history says it was created to provide residential care for orphans and children then described as "juvenile delinquents" in Manhattan. The institution later moved to Dobbs Ferry and became The Children's Village.

The Dobbs Ferry campus page describes a short-term residential program on a 180-acre campus with specialized education, therapeutic recreation, work-skills training, a 24-hour medical clinic, and a K-12 New York State school. A New York State Education Department page lists The Children's Village as a residential treatment center at Echo Hills in Dobbs Ferry.
