House of Childhood at Foscoe Aided by Prout School
The House of Childhood began at Foscoe with two Christian women assisting the Episcopal church. Six children from troubled homes joined the fledgling home in 1812, later growing to seven, aged from five to thirteen, with the aim of offering a caring home and schoollike training. The program focuses on young children ten and under, providing kindergarten, primary instruction, and basic industrial work within a wholesome Christian environment, limiting the group to ten to preserve a family atmosphere.
