Children's Home Society is the oldest and largest organization providing support services for children and their families. Founded in 1902 as an orphanage in Jacksonville, CHS has grown to 14 divisions throughout Florida and has become the state's premier child welfare organization. In 1964, the North Coastal division was opened in Daytona Beach to provide more accessible services to 'at risk' children and families in need in Volusia, Flagler and Putnam counties. Last year, approximately 1,100 children received services through programs offered by the North Coastal Division. Programs and services offered locally include foster care, emergency shelters and group residential homes, family and individual counseling, supervised visitation services for non-custodial parents, family therapy, and independent living skills training for teens aging out of the foster care system. Recently CHS partnered with Daytona State College to operate the Lab School, a nationally accredited early learning center.
