FOSTER PARENT DAY OUT

About Foster Parent Day Out

Foster Parent Day Out is a free program designed to give foster parents a well-deserved break from the daily challenges of raising foster children in the Coastal Bend. This event provides a safe and fun environment where children—foster, adopted, and biological—can engage in a variety of supervised activities.

Children will be cared for by certified respite care providers and additional childcare volunteers, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

During the 4-hour event, children will experience:

Art class
Music class
Outdoor play
Indoor games
Bible lesson
Chick-fil-A lunch
And so much more!

If your child-placing agency or caseworker is not familiar with this program, we encourage them to reach out to us for more information.

How can I best support this program?

This program does not function without the participation and support of the local community! Below are three ways you can best support this program:

1.Become a Respite Care Provider

Respite Care Providers (RCPs) are the heartbeat of this program. Children and youth in foster care are required to receive care from certified individuals. As a RCP, you undergo training and CPR/First Aid certifications to ensure short-term high quality care for foster children.
