Glen Hope Nursery

The Glenhope Nursery is one of thirteen (13) Government operated Child Care institutions in Jamaica. The facility, situated on premises owned by Government, accommodates approximately fifty (5) babies and toddlers who have been abandoned, abused, neglected, orphaned or disabled and as a consequence are in need of care and protection.

The Home which was established in June 1973 is the first Government built Nursery. This was in response to the need to house the increased number of children who were being referred to the agency.

Children who cannot be returned to their families/relatives and are made wards of the State by the courts, are returned to this facility from where they may be adopted, placed in foster care or children’s homes or eventually reunited with their families when circumstances are satisfactory.

The children of school age at this home attend school within the community ,and health care is accessed from Government hospitals and clinics.

The home is supported both financially and in kind by various groups, organizations and individuals from time to time.

In keeping with the mission of the agency, the Glenhope Nursery endeavours to attend to all aspects of the children’s development –spiritual, emotional, physical and academical –to ensure that they are equipped to take their place in society.
